Hi Rasmus,

there are basically two methods to get numerical results out of shell elements:

First the PStressDir-component gives you the principal stresses as vectors in the centroid of each element. Second the IsoLines-component returns result values at isolines.

The nodal values you see in the result renderings are interpolated from the element centerpoint results.

Best,

Clemens
