How to output XY data in Fringe Plot

  Hello,
  
  I'm using the SPH method to simulate a high-speed ballistic impact problem. I want to output the strain energy of the individual particle. I cannot find the strain energy icon in the #History in LS-Prepost, but I find it in the Fringe Component.
  I can only display the contours of the strain energy, but I don't know how to output these values as XY pairs.
  Could you show me the steps in detail?
  
  Best,
  Rong

  Hello,
  1. Plot the fringe (Plot->FriComp) e.g., volumetric strain
  2. Plot->History->Scalar, you will be able to plot that the fring for a node/element
