How to measure strain and stress in a coordinate system along the material axis

      Hello. I am simulating the bending process of a thin plate.
      I would like to measure stain and stress in a coordinate system along the material axis.
      Furthermore, my goal is to visualize them with "Fringe Component" and to output the values to a file.
      Please give me your ideas.
      Thanks.

      Create a Cylindrical Coordinate System with the origin at the center of the cylinder and the Z axis along the axis of the cylinder.  Plot Normal Stress or Strain and set the coordinate system to the Cylindrical Coordinate System.  The X axis is Radial and the Y axis is Tangential so I suggest you relabel your figure to match how Ansys reports the stress components in a cylindrical coordinate system.
