To apply some design rules, I am trying to use Python scripting to extract the stress and strain data from nodes defined under a NamedSelection. Data from a chosen cycle is used for the creep fatige assessment (ASME\/RCC-MRx).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am learning to Python scripting in ANSYS and find it hard to perform this task.&nbsp;So far, I have extracted data from each node which I combine in a chart and export the chart data (Time, Steps, Substeps, Stress, Strain) to a csv file, from which I take the data for a desired cycle. As this method is not suitable for a large geometry, I want to know if the nodal solution can be limited to specific steps in the stress\/strain objects. Or, if there is an efficient way to do this, please let me know.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-390872","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-macrosscripting-1","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-postprocessing","topic-tag-python-scripting"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["267359","46890"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2a00:1398:4:3c17:fdf3:1d22:2473:7d1"],"_btv_view_count":["488"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["390872"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["46890","267359"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["393147"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["393147"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-11-07 10:47:50"]},"test":"roshan-rajakrishnankit-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/390872\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=390872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
