Output format of stresses of an element

[shivanirani11]

I have a doubt about the recording format of stresses of an element. As per xml file, it is in this format: xx-stress, yy-stress, zz-stress, xy-stress, xz-stress, yz-stress, whereas the results look like to be in this format: xx-stress, yy-stress, zz-stress, xy-stress, yz-stress, xz-stress. Please make me clear which one is correct.

I will wait for your reply.

It depends on the element you are using and unfortunately, there's no consistent ordering enforced among elements.

Most the elements I've seen are 11, 22, 33, 12, 23, 13.

it is the 11, 22, 33 12, 23, 13 .. i have modified the code to output the correct text .. any release > 2.4.2.5540 will have correct output.
