You can use the similar method to sum or manipulate contour results from multiple result objects.
this example shows how to sum the damage results from 2 damage result objects and plot them using python results
In this example we create our own scalar field and populate the data and id and use the created scalar fields to plot.
The algorithm is like below:
Your sample code will look like below: I am getting damage result objects by name "damage". Please change that line according to your case.
