3D Model Interfacial Traction and Separation Results

  Hello,
  I am using the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) to study delamination in a 3D model. The model successfully delaminates at the desired location. I would like to observe the variation in interface traction and separation.
  I found that ANSYS uses elements INTER204 or INTER205 for the CZM. The output parameters for these elements are listed in the following table and does contain the outputs I need (separation and traction).
  
  I am facing an error when I try to access interface traction/separation in user defined results. I have tried both INTER204 and INTER205, but I am not sure where I might be making a mistake. I have attached a screenshot of the user-defined settings (named SDX) for reference. I found help for those user defined settings from /forum/forums/topic/interface-delamination-2/.
  How to correctly set up these user-defined results to obtain the interfacial traction (SSX) and separation (SDX)? Any help would be appreciated.
