In post1 /eshape and set,last,last and PLNSOL, S,EQV etc., results are OK.

So in Post1, you can see all of the section results at once. In Post26, this is not possible. You can get the direct stress and the 4 section extreme stresses using ETABLE: (SMISC,…SDir, SByB,etc.) and then find the maxima (see beam188 in help manual for the SMISC and the Sdir stresses) – so similar to what you said and suspected.

See here for the above (smisc,etc.):

All the best
