  Hello,
  I would like to know if the ESEL command can use different VMIN condition for different element defined by etable. Or if there is another possible way (instead of using do-loops). I use the following code and it doesnt work.
  
  etable,pl_stn,eppl,eqv
  etable,hypress,nl,hpres
  etable,el_eqs,s,eqv
  sexp,triax,hypress,el_eqs,1,-1
  sexp,h1,triax,,-1,1
  sadd,crit1,h1,,0.015
  esel,s,etab,pl_stn,crit1
  esel,r,etab,triax,-1/3,0
  
  Could someone help me with this problem please? Thank you!

  I know the element solution gives the field values for the body, but I don't know how to differentiate the x, y, and z elements as they are all in one vidmate list.

  Hi Andy
  Yes different vmin's can be used for different selections. Please describe what you mean be 'doesn't work'. For example there is a big difference between ending up with an empty set to plot, and ending up with the wrong set to plot. That being said using a element table as a vmin amount...well that's a new one on me. I'm not sure that will work as I think you intend. May need to change tactics there. Mike
