export results in txt of elements belonging to named selection

[claRO11]

good evening to all,
I am stefano, I am a novice of ansys (I use it since December 2012) and I just entered the forum.
I have sought between the various debates and I have found no answer (in case there is, I apologize :-().

I have a shell model. via a snippet command I can save me in a .txt item number, xyz coordinates of the center, and strain components. My problem is that I would like to save in this file are the elements that belong to a certain named selection previously created in mechanical.
Is it possible? Does anyone know the commands to enter to get this?

alternatively I had thought of renumbering the elements of the various named selections with an appropriate criterion that would allow me to easily recognize them in the output file, but from the ansys help I see that it is possible to renumber only by selecting part and not named selection...is it true? :

thank you 1000 in advance for the help! ! !
Hi.

usi ansys workbench o classic apdl?

 

[claRO11]

ciao,
per ora sto usando ansys workbench v13.

 

[volaff]

I know how to use a little apdl, so I can't help you

 

[claRO11]

Well,
but the snippet command I'm using is written with apdl language, so the commands are the same.
If you know a way to print the results only of the named selection elements, try to pass them, try it doesn't cost me anything! :

Thank you.

Actually, I think it's easier to select the items you need to print and then print them, right?

for the selection of elements I use the esel command by selecting the materials by type, material, real, section or components.

because I don't know wb I don't know what you mean by "named selection."

problem solved.

simply add these commands before carrying out any rescue/printing operation of the desired entities:

!cmsel allows me to select all the nodes belonging to the named selection "taaac"
cmsel,s,taaac
!esln allows me to select the elements that have as knots the newly selected ones (the flag 1 allows me to consider only the elements that have
All knots included in the group
esln,r,1


Thank you.
See you soon!
