Hello everyone,

As the title of this post says, I would like to create a path using APDL commands, and then get the temperature and x,y,z values on it after I solve the model.

The thing is I'm struggling with the Ansys help. I manage to create the path using PATH and then PPATH commands, but I do not know what to do afterward. I'd just like to post-treat the temperature on this path I've just created after I solve the model. I don't think I'm missing a big thing but I'm just a bit lost.

I hope you can give me a hand. Thank you in advance.

Hello,

.Have you checked  documentation article 7.2.4 Mapping results into a Path 7.2. Reviewing Results in POST1 (ansys.com)?

Also this documentation link has an example that uses PATH commands: 3.4. Example Thermal-Stress Analysis (ansys.com)

This is the specific part I 'm reffering to:

! Define path by location
ppath,2,,.6
pdef,temp,temp
! Interpret temperature to path
pasave,radial,filea
! Save path to an external file
plpath,temp
! Plot temperature solution
