ANSYS Mechanical APDL - How to scope results to specific elements of an assembly

Click For Summary
In ANSYS Mechanical APDL, users can struggle to scope results to specific elements, such as an adhesive layer, which is straightforward in ANSYS Workbench. The original poster successfully scoped results for deformation and equivalent stress in Workbench but seeks guidance on achieving the same in APDL. They provided an example of the scoped results from Mechanical but received no immediate solutions. Other users express similar difficulties with this issue. Effective scoping in APDL requires specific commands, which are not detailed in the discussion.

Hi,

I have been using both ANSYS APDL and ANSYS Workbench (Mechanical) to run analysis on a structure. After loading the structure, in Mechanical i was able to scope my results for deformation and EQUIV stress to just the adhesive layer as this is what I am interested in.

However, I can't work out how to do the same in APDL. This is an example of the scoped results i mentioned that was done in Mechanical.

Any help is much appreciated
Many Thanks

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
