In 12.0.1, the SET command has been enhanced to allow users to automatically load the amplitude (SET,,,,3) or phase angle (SET,,,,4) for results from harmonic response analyses in the General Postprocessor (/POST1). This is helpful to plot the amplitude or to visualize the phase angle in contour plots.

In previous versions, the HRCPLX,,,360 command needed to be issued to plot amplitude. Visualizing phase angle required some APDL manipulation.

Note that this capability is also available for complex model analysis results as well (e.g., MODOPT,QRDAMP,,,,ON or MODOPT,DAMP or MODOPT,UNSYM).
