Hi everyone,

I am working on a Simulation with a lot of different load cases. For each one, I am going to need the same pictures, from the same perspective with the same color scheme.
While doing an internship at another firm, I was working with Meta Postprocessing. Here I could use python to completely automate the postprocessing process. Now I am wondering, if i could do the same with Ansys.

Since I am new to APDL, I looked into the documentation first and found this:
https://www.mm.bme.hu/~gyebro/files/...p_C_CH2_3.html

Now there seems to already be a lot of what I need, but not everything.
What I would basically like to automate with APDL is:
- only show certain parts
- switch between different stress displays (I already found a command to change the color mapping, this might be sufficient)
- change the view (here I only found a command to go to a specific view by hard coding the coordinates and stuff, not just by switching to an already existing view. This would work, but seems overcomplicated)
- de-, activate section planes
- save a picture

So my question is:
Has anyone ever tried to do this and could give some tips or even provide an example code?
Or has maybe worked with the python implementation for this? I can't seem to find a useful documentation here. Only an example to postprocess with python by exporting the results out of the Mechanical, which I would like to avoid.

If someone might be able to help a little, that will be highly appreciated
Thanks for reading, have a nice day,
Oli
