      Results plots such as Nodal Solution (PLNS) and Element Solution (PLES) are plotted on the finite element model, not the model geometry. So, even though the areas have been reduced to a subset, the entire FE model is still selected. Suggestion: Use the area components to create new components of elements. Then, select the element components and plot the results.
