Hello,

I am using Ansys static structural module in workbench to run some structural simulations. However I find paraview to be a good post processor and the one I am comfortable with. Is it possible to read the ansys results into paraview without going through MAPDL ? I am not proficient in MAPDL. Can the results for composite analysis also be exported ?
