For the model I have built, I want to read strain data from four different positions, but I have set four different positions. Why are the results read the same?

mapdl.post1()
# 1.
mapdl.nsel('s', 'loc', "x", -d1-d2-4.5, -d1-d2+4.5)
mapdl.nsel('s', 'loc', "y", -4.5, 4.5)
mapdl.nsel('s', 'loc', "z", 4.5, 4.5)
cmd1 = mapdl.prnsol(item="EPTO")
with open("./ansys_module/Result_left1.txt", "w") as fo:
     fo.write(cmd1)

mapdl.nsel('s', 'loc', "x", -d1-4.5, -d1+4.5)

Hi @COOLEST-GET
How are the nodal result listing wrong? Without more to review, i.e. the values of d1, d2, the model dimensions, and the result of the selection/result listing it is hard to say what the issue happens to be. Also this should be created as a PyMAPDL Discussion and not a PyMAPDL Reader discussion as the Reader is not being used in the script listing. I'll see if I can transfer this.

I agree with @mikerife
