Hi Joseph, As far as my understanding goes, ANSYS only calculates nodal displacement. So, I'm thinking that nodal stresses by definition must be averaged somehow. See section 4.3: Types of data available for postprocessing http://www.ansys.stuba.sk/html/guide_55/g-bas/GBAS4.htm (Please correct me if I'm wrong) If you're interested in different representations of nodal stresses (averaging techniques) you might be interested in the difference between /graphics,power and /graphics,full (see documentation) About full graphics: "Power graphics versus full graphics (read about it). Use /graphics,full in post1 to average the way post26 is doing: full - average from all elements attached to a node power - average (1) only those elements with a *face* on the surface (i.e., ignore elements with just a node on the surface), (2) if at material or geometric discontinuity, separately average (so you have in fact two or more values at a node). power leads to more accurate numbers. If the mesh is fine enough, both methods will lead to the same value. Dave Conover ANSYS, Inc."
