ANSYS does not store results for midside nodes on the RST file; these values are calculated on the fly as the average of the corner nodes. The difference in this case is that APDL *VGET returns the result from the RST, whereas WB returns the averaged value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-162057","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4663","topic-tag-apdl","topic-tag-macros-scripting-upf","topic-tag-mechanical-apdl-f-ansys","topic-tag-structural-mechanics"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
