Dear friends,

I have some problem using "Load Case" in ANSYS. I can't drive result when I use "LCASE" except defromation. Here I write my macro for better understanding.
I model a simple cantilever beam in which loads are applied at the end point (-100 N and -200 N). I want to define -100 N as LC1 and -200 N as LC2 and combine them this way: LC3 = 1.2×LC1+1.6×LC2 and then see the results in LC3, for example von misses stresses and creating ETABLE, but It seems just nodal deflection can be extracted.
I would appriciate if anybody could help!
Thanks,

Hi Dear
this is realy interesting subject
I worked with ANSYS 8 years But I can not Solve this prablem
If It is solved plaese inform me
