  Dear everyone,
  
  I have been reading some papers that used results of minimum principal stress of concrete to identify compression and tensile regions of the concrete structure. What is the meaning of minimum principal stress result in LS-Prepost and could other stress results be used for this purpose?
  
  Best regards,
  Panha

  Minimum principal stress is the smallest eigenvalue of the stress tensor. What will be appropriate for your case is up to you to decide
