Hiii,

TH/SHEL describes the time history of 4 node shell element. In this time history file, F1 and F2 are two variables. In RADIOSS 12 reference guide F1 and F2 are stress in direction 1 and 2 respectively. But when I plot time history for F1 and F2 in hypergraph it shows FORCE. Is it 'force' or 'stress'? Please clarify.
