Why can’t I get stresses after a response spectrum?

      Somehow a setting to use “live stress” was set. This setting only applies to static analysis and is used to postprocess a distributed solution without combining the slave results files together. Because live stress is not available for response spectrum your stresses would not plot. A workaround would be to duplicate the modal and response spectrum systems, change them to static systems, turn off live stress and then convert them back to modal and response spectrum.
