    Hi @jahnavi

     

    It depends on your result interest. RMS is a type of averaging of all stresses, hence it is relevant

    I am not sure what you mean by surface, but you can view min/max for a set of elements using Measures panel. Check this attached video for more info.

    @Jahnavi,

     

    One way is to have a shell coat with minimal thickness over solid elements and run the analysis.

    I will check if there another way to do that and will update the same with you soon.
