Hello,

I have two separate Static Structural systems in Mechanical: System A and System B. Both systems use the same geometry input, are meshed identicially, have the same fixed constraints, and the same acceleration inputs. The only difference between the two is System B has some added point masses. I would like to see how the von-Mises stresses differ between the two without having to have both open is separate windows and try to spot differences.

I thought a Solution Combination would work by setting the scale factors to 1 and -1. The results from B would be subtracted from A and I could see the difference. But since System B has some point masses that aren't in System A, they need to be separate Static Structural systems and I can't use a Solution Combination.

I know there are many ways to output results but I've never done it before. Is there a method to output the results from one system and input them into the other system to use in a solution combination or other tool to show stress differences?

Thank you all for you help.

Hi 
You can follow the following link to perform it. 
I have two independent/unconnected Static Structural systems in Workbench but I want to see the results for both under the same Mechanical window. How can I do this? – Ansys Knowledge

Thank you for pointing me to that discussion. My models are larger and more complex so it might take some trial and error, but is should be a great start!
