I suggest the third-party app "FNO Reader" to extract the data, and Excel to create the graph. (Version 1.50 is the current version of FNO Reader.) Page 5 of the FNO Reader documentation gives the general steps in the example "Graph Result from specific locations versus Time (or Step)". What you want to do differently from that example is this:
Use different Idealizations to define the groups of components that you want to graph. For example, Idealization 1 is for parts A, E, G which you want to consider as "one" group where you want the maximum temperature, Idealization 2 is for parts B, C, F for another group with the max temperature, Idealization 3 for parts D, and so on.
Instead of extracting the "Sum" of the results in step 11, you want to extract the "Maximum".
In step 12 where you specify what nodes are in the group to find the maximum, you will use the element command (such as "CTETRA solid elements, PID=") in the "File contents" column to let FNO Reader determine which nodes are in the group, and enter the Idealization number (the "PID") in the "File details" column to specify which group of elements to use to get the node numbers.
The example is slightly outdated in that step 19 indicates you need to extract the time value from the subcase title. Instead, add step 15b which would indicate to check the box "Replace subcase title with step value". This will output the actual time value instead of a text string that includes the time. It makes graphing the results so much easier.
As given in the example (step 13), you can define multiple tables to output results, one table for each Idealization.
