There is no way to directly do this in the ANSYS program. The expansion of a modal or CMS model will expand the entire DOF set; however, after expansion of the entire model, in \/POST1, you can use the SUBSET command which will load the results for the selected subset of elements\/nodes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-165259","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-4653","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-mapdl","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
