We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hello,

It is true that the stress and strains are evaluated at the integration points, but the postprocessor does the averaging of those stress results to the respective nodes, called averagred stress values. Similarly unaveraged, elemental difference, nodal fraction etc. are available. But in Mechanical GUI, it is not directly feasible to have integration point/ Gauss point stress values.

Thanks,
