Postprocessing
Postprocessing Command Blocks
At v14 postprocessing command blocks can be added and evaluated after At v14 postprocessing command blocks can be added and evaluated after
the solution is complete (no complete re-solve is required).
When a post solution command block is evaluated Mechanical will write a
batch solution file and submit it to the ANSYS solver batch solution file and submit it to the ANSYS solver.
The default name for batch input file is post.dat
A corresponding output file post.out is also generated in the folder.

76
Tips for Postprocessing
1 Not all quantities are written to the result file by default 1. Not all quantities are written to the result file by default.
If you plan to postprocess force or contact data you will need to set the
output controls prior to the solution (Analysis Settings > Output Controls).
This can also be set as the default using the Tools > Options > Mechanical This can also be set as the default using the Tools > Options > Mechanical
> Analysis Settings and Solution.
77
Tips for Postprocessing Command Blocks
2 Named Selections of geometry are converted to nodal or element 2. Named Selections of geometry are converted to nodal or element
components in the ANSYS database (active memory during the solution).
The generated components are NOT written to the result file and will NOT be
found if requested in a post-solution command block. found if requested in a post solution command block.
To get around this save the MAPDL database prior to the solution:
Analysis Settings > Analysis Data Management and set Save MAPDL
Database .
This can also be set as the default using the Tools > Options > Mechanical >
Analysis Settings and Solution.
Add a resume command at the top of the postprocessingcommand block.
78
3 Use the SET command to read all quantities fromthe results file 3. Use the SET command to read all quantities from the results file.
The MAPDL database is saved after the solution but not all quantities are
stored.
79
4 When evaluating a postprocessing command block on a model with a 4. When evaluating a postprocessing command block on a model with a
completed solution you may need to redirect ANSYS to the appropriate
result file type.
The solver uses the default /POST1 >FILE setting which looks for a file with The solver uses the default /POST1 > FILE setting which looks for a file with
an .RST extension.
If the analysis is of another type you will need to use the FILE command in
the command block.
Example: Postprocessing a thermal result requires a FILE,,RTH command
