The Mechanical APDL program records every command it executes, whether typed in directly or executed by a function in the Graphical User Interface (GUI), in two places: the session log file and the internal database command log.
The session log file is a text file which is saved in your working directory.
The database command log is saved in the Mechanical APDL database (in memory). You can copy this log to a file at any time (LGWRITE).
