To create a new section plane, click on the ‘New Section Plane’ command in the ANSYS® Mechanical toolbar as shown by the red arrow above.
After clicking on the ‘New Section Plane’ command in ANSYS® Mechanical, draw a slicing line as shown by the red arrow, that will slice the geometry to obtain a section plane perpendicular to the screen. The orientation of geometry is also very important to create the desired section plane.

All the created section planes will be listed on the ‘Section Plane’ window as shown by the green arrow above.
As you see above, the section plane is created with the slicing line that is drawn in ANSYS® Mechanical.
There are some options in the ‘Section Plane’ window in ANSYS® Mechanical. If you click on the created section plane, the options available for section planes right to left, inside green box;
As you see above, all the mesh elements that are coincident with the section plane wholly shown in ANSYS® Mechanical.
