how to get the temperature information after first time increment

Dear All,

I am just wondering if some one can help me in finding the solution temperature after the first time increment solution. The objective is to locate the elments that crosses the vaporization temperature.

for example

I need to use a command like this after the first time step

NSEL,S,TEMP,,TBOIL,TMAX

in the above macro how do get "TEMP" i.e., the nodal temperature after the first solution time

Thanks in advance,

with warm regards,

Pranesh

Nanotubes

Hi folks! I deal with buckling nanostructures, contact problem of nanostructures. And i have a problem with geometry construction of nanotube with arbitrary (n, m) chirality. Can any one write the algorithm for building nanotube geometry in 3d space(xyz-Cartesian coordinate system). Many thanks!
