**1 ElementSet**  
(1) In postprecessor, user cannot create ElementSet. When ElementSet is created in “FE Model”, the results will be removed. I think it would be nice to create ElementSet in postprecossor.  
(2) In postprecessor, user cannot show results based on ElementSet meanwhile hiding other elements. “Convert ElementSet to Part” can be a solution, but I think it’s not the direct way.

**2 Section View**  
With Section View, user can see then contour results, but can only SEE it, user cannot inquire, display or export result data.

As a contrast, ANSYS supports all these functions above, and supports showing results based on Path， shown in the following figures.
