Stress for beam connections

      Hello everyone.
      Static structural analysis.
      I have several beam connections of different diameters:

      I derive stresses from them:

      And how can I derive stresses not for all beams but for a certain diameter?

      Maybe it is possible to assign a TYPE ID to a beam connection? So that later the results can be displayed in USER DEFINED RESULTS using this ID?

      That might work.  Commands like the ones below could be inserted into the connections

      et,1001,188 

      esel,s,type,,_bid

      emod,all,type,1001

      allsel

      Or there might be a way to create an APDL component of the elements for each beam diameter and reference the component name in the user defined result.
