Reading the failure criteria from an .rst file

I would like to read the error criteria TWSI, PMAT and PFIB from an .rst file using PyAnsys or Ansys.MAPDL.Reader.

The problem is that I don't know exactly whether the failure criteria are even stored in the .rst file and whether I can add the failure criteria there. On the other hand, I don't know how I could read out the error criteria with PyAnsys.

I would be very grateful for any help.

    Are you working with a composites model? In that case PyDPF-Composites will be the most suited approach.

    Hi @YanHem Please see the MAPDL documentation the ETABLE command - Element TABLE. This can be used to plot those results. Then search the PyMAPDL Reader documentation pages for ETABLE for instance on this page.
