glstat and matsum will include "eroded" energies that track the contributions of element eroded by failure criteria. In the course of deleting/eroding elements, some nodes are typically liberated from the remaining mesh. You can see those nodes when postprocessing with LS-PrePost by selecting View>Show Deleted Nodes.
