Is it possible to plot contour information along the length of a LINK10 element?


In ANSYS Release 10.0, you can plot contour information along a LINK10 element using PLLS. To plot contour information along the length of LINE element (LINK or BEAM), first store that information using ETABLE, and then plot the ETABLE item using PLLS.

For example to plot the axial stress, first select the LINK10 elements and then issue ETABLE,SAXL,LS,1. That command will store the axial stresses under the label SAXL. You can then plot those values using PLLS.
