How can i select a special part of an element to see those results only. For example, if i have a concrete column and i just need the section close to the support.
Thanks,

Region

Hi Guillermo,
It depends on what you want to do, there are 2 options. In both cases however, you cannot restrict the results to only 1 section, but at most to 1 element only:

- You record results only on a region.
In this case, in the pre processor you need to create a selection set that contains only 1 element.
Then in the mpco recorder there is the region option where you can select the target region. Doing so you will record results only on elements and nodes of that region - You record results on the entire model, then in post-processor you hide everything but the element you need
In this case, in post-processor, you select the element or one of its gauss points or one of its fibers (depending on what plot you are working on) and then use the "Show" command. The "Show" command will show only items that are selected.
See also the "Hide" and "ShowAll" commands. The "Hide" command is the oppposite, it hides everything selected, while the "ShowAll" shows everything
