Hello everyone,

In the attached images, there are 3 surfaces- spherical calotte, cylindrical roof and hypar. I want to define paths along the lines on these surfaces to plot element table quantities. The size of these surfaces is 10 meter x 10 meter and the element size is 50 mm. It is difficult for me to go around the surface to select the nodes one by one.

Can I define lines, arcs through modelling tools (in pre-processing) and then select these lines/arcs as the paths? Or can you suggest another way of doing this task.

Also, I have material discontinuity in the model but the path plot doesn't show the expected jumps in bending stresses at material interface. Is less number of points and divisions on the path a possible reason for this problem?

You can.

In WB, first, you need to define a path, as a single edge or a set of edges, as a construction geometry.

See http://www.padtinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/image_thumb1.png

Then right click on the desired result in your model tree (e.g. displacement). In the popup menu, you will find the item that converts it to path results.

In Ansys classic it should be similar!
