Hi Theo,

Instead of using probe, can you export the midside node result data and check the values. You may need a command object to export the data. You can use PowerGraphics (/GRAPHICS,POWER) and turn on 2 element faces (/EFACET,2), which is valid for higher-order elements. You can list the midside node stresses with PRNSOL.  This could be redirected to a file with /OUTPUT command.  

Example commands (nodify the commands as needed)

/post1

set,last

/graphics,power

/efacet,2 

/output,my_result,txt,

prnsol,s,prin

/output
