  hello,nI need to present a contour of temperature difference of two contours of temperature.nit's like substarcting two countours from each otherncan I do that using ansys mechanical thermal anaylsis ??n

  nYes, use a Solution Combination.nhttps://forum.ansys.com/discussion/10103/pre-stress-from-static-analysis-possibly-not-being-taken-into-consideration-in-harmonic-analysisn

  nExport the temperatures to a text file from each single result.nImport those two files into a single Excel file.nMake a new column to subtract one temperature from the other at each node.nCopy that new column and Paste Values.nDelete the three temperature columns, keeping the newest column of values.nSave that file with the difference column in the same format as a single result.nUse External Data component in Workbench to import the difference data.nPlot that contour.n

  this is working thank you.nbut I am comparing two models with a slight change in geometry and with this method I can not make sure that every node has a number and location similar to the node from the other model.nis there a method i can include x y coordinates of every node?n

  nThis is the method that includes the coordinates.
