Max/Min value when exporting stress results

Hi all,

A basic question on my side but I am rather struggling to find a solution. I have a shell model of a steel element. After calculating, I want to export the surface stresses into a csv file. However, I noticed that the stress values on the table are much lower than the ones displayed on the model. And then I realized that the table is built upon the "grid points" of a surface. Now, to change reduce the grid size on the surfaces would result in tens of thousands of result points that are making everything heavier (and still not catching the max/min) stress valued displayed in the model. Is there a way to do this easier? Is there a way to configure the table so that it displays the maximum and minimum stress in the element without needing to "tell it" in which coordinate he must find this?

Hi _lobo,

:waving_hand: Welcome to the community!

Thank you for your question — we're happy to help.

The table is based on values at grid points. In contrast, the graphical results reflect values at FE mesh nodes, which is why they show all minimum and maximum values.

We already implemented the function to switch to results in Mesh nodes:

Hi Stefan,

That is great to know that the feature is already implemented :slight_smile: I probably need to update my version of RFEM6!

Thank you very much for your help!
