Description
🤓 Before submitting the issue
- I have visited the Troubleshooting section.
- I have searched among the existing issues.
- I am using a Python virtual environment.
- I am using the latest version of PyMAPDL and its dependencies (fully updated virtual environment). You can update them using
pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager ansys-mapdl-corein your activated virtual environment.
🔍 Description of the bug
A model has multiple parts and a sub-set of elements select. The JT,SUM is then retrieved with PyMAPDL post processing. After the set of elements selected has changed. If you run the (sorry it's kind of long) example the 4th print will have a different number of selected elements. Also the set of elements is those of material 3, and not material 4.

import pyvista as pv
import numpy as np
