Questions about shell element data extraction

[karma0704]

Hello, Steve, it’s me again. When the stress of the shell unit provides conversion, you directly output the maximum absolute value from the upper and lower surfaces of each unit. Can you save and output the original data of the upper and lower surfaces?

No. That is not supported yet.

Do you have a plan?

No. I haven’t come up with a good way to do it. There are many different options for reducing the results down to a single value, including top/bottom/mean/slope, which are direct outputs of Nastran. I want an option for nodal averaging in there as well. It very quickly becomes a lot of extra cases. If you’d like to work on it, put together a pull request.

OK, I'll think about how to deal with this special case. If I think of a good idea, I'll share it and put together a pull request.
