Next, from the current set of nodes,  select nodes that satisfy the following criterion: 0.45"≤ y≤ 0.85" by appropriately modifying the previous select action step. the snapshot below shows what I get: four nodes remain in the selected set. If you mess up, resume from your .db file. 

Now all actions on nodes will be performed only on the four nodes  that are currently selected. For instance, to list the strain values at these nodes, choose

Main Menu > General Postproc > List results >  Nodal Solution > Elastic Strain > X-Component of Elastic Strain

You can save these values to a text file using File > Save  as. You can then read in the values from the text file into Excel or MATLAB for further processing such as finding the average.

Once you are done with the select operations, exit the Select Entities menu and choose

Utility Menu > Select > Everything

Utility Menu > Plot > Volumes

Go to Step 9: Validate the results
