Is it possible to custom map a set of results by element? Such as element modulus * direct strain?

I would like to customize my own result sets in Hyperview by element. Instead of just being able to plot what is requested in the GLOBAL OUTPUT REQUEST, you could customize the results by certain features of each elements. One example would be to multiply the strain of each element by the material modulus of each element and plot those results in Hyperview. 

Is this possible through tcl scripting? 
Requesting material properties in the run deck per element?

    Hi @Jason Bell 

     

    You can create custom results in Derived Results. To retrieve model data, you need to import both your model, and results, using 'Advanced' math option.

    Inside the Derived Results, you can create your own custom results.

    In the image below, i'm taking the MAT1_E (young modulus) and mapping this MatToElem, do that these E values get mapped to the elements.

    Then i'm multiplying by some other result. You just need to be sure that the results are the same type (elemental or nodal).

    Then, once you've created this, you can just contour your custom result.
