Hi, 


The microplane damage output is not directly available in Workbench Mechanical. You would need a command snippet to output that.


"PLESOL, MPDP, TOTA"


Please refer to PLESOL for more information: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v192/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_PLESOL.html?q=plesol


And here is an example you can try: 



! Graphics power needs to be turned on to view the rebars


/graphics,power


! Enter /post1 module


/post1


! Show result as a png image


/SHOW,png


! Set the frame as the last substep of the 1st step


set,1,last


! Select the SOLID185 elements


esel,s,ename,185


/trlcy,elem,0.5     ! Change them to transparent level 0.5 (0 is solid, 1 is completely transparent)


esel,all


! Set view angle


/view,1,1,1,1


/angle,1,-0.75


! Show the whole section of the reinforcement


/eshape,1


! Plot displacement


plnsol,u,x


! Plot damage


 


plesol, MDPD, TOTA
