Hello dev community,
I wanted to know if there is a way to visualize vector principal stress result overlayed on top of contour of max principal stress in ANSYS Mechanical.
Please suggest if this can be achieved using dpf in Mechanical
I am open to using some other technique if its feasible - eg. pydpf workflow, Ensight, etc.
Also, I would like to know how can Stress vectors be plotted separately using dpf

    @Structures-Scripting-Team may be able to help, but otherwise, I suspect it depends on what PyDPF uses to plot. If you can get the data out yourself then using matplotlib or something similar should be straightforward to do what you want. Otherwise some clever manipulations of the plotting object might be in order.
