1. You need to constrain your ANSYS model adequately so that it doesn't fly off to Europa. The figure above doesn't specify any displacement constraints but you can make use of symmetry to impose the displacement constraint in the y-direction. Additionally, constrain the left corner in the half-model in x-direction to prevent rigid-body motion to the right. With these two displacement constraints, the model is well constrained.

2. You can save a copy of a plot using the following icon in the top menu:

Or you can use the Snipping Tool in Windows 7.3. If you apply pressures to both the right an left edges, you'll get an error saying that the model is insufficiently constrained. You need to have a displacement constraint to overcome this. So constrain the left edge in the x direction and apply the pressure on the right edge.
