Post processing -- data retrival

[hnng]

Hi All,

I want to write "node-number, nodal solution value" using APDL to a specified file. Although I can read that in General postproc->List result->Nodal Sol but I need to execute this from inside the APDL.

Your comments are appreciated.

So write an apdl macro to do it then? I don't get what you're trying to ask.

Hi Stringmaker,

I have an APDL macro which has a loop and in each loop it solves for some given boundary condition value. Thus I wish to capture node number and corresponding nodal solution value in a file.

A command like *get,t1,NODE,All,TEMP will give me all the temperature at selected nodes but not the corresponding node number with it. My aim is to get a file with following format (which is pretty much the output of General postproc->List result->Nodal Sol):

Node Number, Nodal solution value

My question is, what set of command should I use data in this format.

I hope I made my query clear, let me know if anything else is required.

Regards

Hi,
in your example:
PRNSOL,TEMP

How about

*cfopen,file,txt
alls
nnn=ndnext(0)
*dowhile,nnn
*get,t1,NODE,nnn,TEMP ![or better t1=temp(nnn)]
*vwrite,nnn,t1
(F3.0,F12.0)
nnn=ndnext(nnn)
*enddo
*cfclose

Thank you all ... now I am able to capture what i needed... thanks a lot.
