  Consider a plate 10 x10 x 2 mm made of some anisotropic material modeled in ansys and material propertes given using ansitropic elastic contanst (21). Since the properties of the component vary in all direction how to find material propeties in a specified location such as 5 x 5 x 2 mm from orgin?(considering any of the plate corner as orgin.)
  
  Thank you in advance

  Hi Kavi,
  Try selecting the element at that location and then issue elist command. ELIST command lists the elements with their nodes and attributes (MAT, TYPE, REAL, ESYS, SECNUM, PART). You will see the information in the Solver Output.

  Hi,
  Thank you for replying,
  I have tried the above method. it will give the mateiral no. (like mateiral no. 1 or 2 )etc. In isotropic material the propeties are equal in all the directions. But i am trying with anisotropic mateiral, in which material propeties is different all the location. once the material properties are defined, how to check the value for a particular node or location
