Dear Dave,

Thank you for sending me this code.

I tried to apply the second method under solution but the result that I got is a contour plot of variable elastic modulus which the maximum in the outer layer with the value which is obtained from the default value of the elastic modulus (that I had to defined in engineering data). However, I had added the command macro under the geometry to overwrite the default material data and the solution were done based on those new values of material data ( the elastic modulus as a function of radius(. So, I need to show those values of overrided elastic modulus on a contour plot-The values are changing from 0.02 to 0.25 MPa. How can I modify your code to make ansys to get the new material data not the default one? I would appreciate if you could help.

And, here is the code that solve the problem with the elastic modulus as a linear function of radius.
