Hi everybody,
I'm doing a non-linear analysis by Ansys Mechanical, and I have 1 load step but several substep.
So I'd like to store (and plot) the nodal solution, especially nodal displacement (for just some node) and nodal reaction for every substep!

Well, I tried with this code after solution:

Code:
/SOLU
EQSLV,SPARSE
NLGEOM,ON
STEPS=10
NSUBST,STEPS,1000,1
OUTRES,ALL,ALL
SOLVE 			
FINISH 

/post1

*cfopen,temp,txt 
*DO,i,1,STEPS,1
SET,1,i
*DIM,U_Y,,STEPS,1
*GET,U_Y(i,1),NODE,2490,U,Y
*ENDDO
*VWRITE,U_Y(1,1)

but it doesn't work.
Thanks if somebody can help me.

why do not try several steps and use post26 to read the result?
 
thanks, but I've to run a non linear analisys so if I run more than 1 load step the time increase too much.

With post26 is possible read result for each substep?
