    In this tutorial we will go through the third step. We will review our results.

    1. Step 1

      Goto General Postproc >> Plot Results >> Deformed Shape.

      Medium

    2. Step 2

      Select Def + undeformed. Click OK.

      Medium

    3. Step 3

      We have deformation plot. Now goto Plot Results >> Contour plot >> Nodal Solu.

      Medium

    4. Step 4

      Select DOF Solution >> Displacement vector sum and click OK.

      Medium

    5. Step 5

      Now we have displacement plot.

      Medium

    6. Step 6

      Again goto Nodal Solu and select von mises stress under stress. Click OK.

      Medium

    7. Step 7

      We have von-Mises plot.

      Medium

    8. Step 8

      Click PlotCtrls and then select Capture image.

      Medium

    9. Step 9

      Now the result image will be in seperate image.

      Medium

    10. Step 10

      Again PlotCtrls Menu and select Numbering.

      Medium

    11. Step 11

      Check KP, Line and Element numbers & click OK.

      Medium

    12. Step 12

      Now we have the numbering for element.

      Medium

    13. Step 13

      Again goto PlotCtrls >> Animate >> Deformed shape.

      Medium

    14. Step 14

      Select Def + undeformed and click OK.

      Medium

    15. Step 15

      The animation will start. Click Close.

      Medium

    16. Step 16

      Goto PlotCtrls Menu and then Animate >> Save Animation in case you want to save the animation.

      Medium

    17. Step 17

      Goto General Postproc >> Plot results >> Vector plot >> Predefined.

      Medium

    18. Step 18

      Keep it to DOF solution and click OK.

      Medium

    19. Step 19

      We have the vector plot.

      Medium

    20. Step 20

      Finally we have solved the problem in APDL.
