Comparison between strain/stress and failure plots in ACP, the results seem to differ : why is that ?

      The explanation comes from what is done in ACP for the strain and failure plots: – ACP Sampling Point and ACP Plot displays stress/strain at element center. The values are interpolated from the elements integration points. This is similar to the display “elemental mean” that can be done in Mechanical. – IRF (Inverse Reserve Factor) calculation is based on the worse value of all integration points, to show the most conservative case.
