Contact elements in Ansys 11

Time history (/post26) Seqv Beam188
Dear Josh, Tnx for the fast reply. I also think (at this moment) the problem is the result data is not saved yet. Do you know how to do this with Ansys10? Can I for example use a table to write it to, like, *dim,results,table,1200,1 !create table 1200*1 named 'results'...- Sjoonus

Time history (/post26) Seqv Beam188
Hi, I'm performing a (seismic) analysis of a container crane. The loads are working, but now I'm trying to read the (time history) results. Using the time history post processor (/post26), I only can get the Nodal (Dof) solutions. I want to get Element solutions, e.g. VonMises stresses in...- Sjoonus
