In Ansys DPF, I have been trying to use this operator (ENL_ELENG aka result.elastic_strain_energy_density), providing the same input that are perfectly working for stress and strain results operators, but here the Field generated is empty.

Any idea on how to resolve?

Ansys 2024R1 sp 1.3
ansys-dpf-core 0.12.2
Thanks in advance

    Hello @Simone Lucertini ,

    Could you please try activating large deflection and try solving again to check this?
    Also, please plot the result in Mechanical as well using User Defined Result with expression SENDELASTIC for sanity check.
