I'm working on a Harmonic Response Analysis in Ansys WB 16.1 for a rather large/complex geometry, and I'm interested in the maximum displacement of a few key point in my model. I've generated frequency response plots in the X, Y, and Z directions separately since those are built-in to Workbench.
However what I would like to be able to visualize is a similar plot, but of USUM vs. Frequency. From what I can see this is not a built-in option in WB, but USUM is one of the stored variables in the output files.
I'm fairly certain that it would be possible to extract this information using the User-Defined Results option, but I'm hardly fluent in APDL.
If anyone who is more trained in APDL knows how to extract these results, even just into a format that I can bring into Excel to plot, that would be very much appreciated!
