Hi @Iby I'm not sure what you are asking here.  Can you please be more specific?  Also what generated the MAPDL file that was solved?  For example if you are looking at a rst file from a model created with WB Mechanical, perhaps you can use Named Selections to capture the region that you need to later post process.  In MAPDL named selections are "components" and so CMSEL can be used to select them.  I can be more specific if I knew exactly what you need to accomplish.
