Volume rendering for ANSYS Mechanical results

  Hi Everyone I have performed a finite element analysis using ANSYS Mechanical on a deformable cube that is filled with stiff spherical stones. The cube is compressed using hydrostatic pressure. I want to use a volume rendering method, just like what we have in CFD-Post, to present the results of stress distribution around the stones inside the cube's volume. Can ANSYS do this? If it can't, is ther any software that I can use for this purpose?
  Please use the link below to see an example of presenting results using the volume rendering method.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hi Ashish Thanks for your help. However, this is not what I'm looking for. In the previous versions of ANSYS (2016) we could use the CFD-POST to read the ANSYS APDL results (.rst files). So it was possible to use its volume rendering method to see the stress distributions in volumes (just like the image in the like I shared with you in my previous post). However, this is no longer supported by the current ANSYS release.
