Do you know how to specify the scope of the command, that is to say the particular beams in the model to which this applies? Do we have to precede the command with other specifications (like post-processing or whatever). I am not that familiar with APDL commands (just started using it for FSI with fluent).<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Any clarification\/suggestion on the above&nbsp;will be much appreciated.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Tam&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-43283","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["15464"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1969"],"_bbp_subscription":["249604"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["43283"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["14","102861","175433"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["138550"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["138550"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-01-12 20:50:30"]},"test":"tamtok"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/43283","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\/43283\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
