Depending on the type of analysis these controls might suite your needs.<br \/>If more control is needed then a Commands Object can be used to issue a series of OUTRES commands.  And be used in conjunction with Named Selections (components to MAPDL, using the cname field of outres).  This way control like &#8220;Do not write any results for Body1; write only stress for Body2;etc&#8221; can be done. Please review the Ansys Help -> Mechanical APDL -> Command Reference entry for OUTRES.<br \/>In the Analysis Settings -> Restart Controls set the controls to default.
