Hello Everybody,

I'm using ANSYS Apdl v15 for exporting element stress components. I'd like to know if it's possible to select elements (via components commands) from an external file (.txt or .xlsx or whatever) that contains a list of the required elements ID number. The elements ID are not sorted, and since I'm working with a large model (approx +500k elements) it's not even possible to use picking or other selecting methods (material, properties, xyz position...)

I hope I explained my problem in the clearest way possible.

Any hint is very appreciated
