      “Please check below explanation of ERESX, from ANSYS help (help manual section: help/ans_cmd/Hlp_C_ERESX.html) ERESX, DEFA: If element is fully elastic (no active plasticity, creep, or swelling nonlinearities), extrapolate the integration point results to the nodes. If any portion of the element is plastic (or other active material nonlinearity), copy the integration point results to the nodes (default). ERESX, Yes: Extrapolate the linear portion of the integration point results to the nodes and copy the nonlinear portion (for example, plastic strains). ERESX, NO: Copy the integration point results to the nodes. “
