Guys, in GLOBAL_OUTPUT-REQUEST for STRESS I try option TOP=10 to print inly 10 top von Mises stresses, but it does not work. OptiStruct prints all stresses in *.strs file. 

In Reference Guide we have

The output requests in *.fem looks like this

STRESS(OPTI,VON,TOP=10) = YES

May be, somebody can check it.  Ideally, I want to receive only one max value of von Mises stress in output file. 

Thank you!

    Found!

    "The threshold options (THRESH, RTHRESH, TOP, and RTOP) are available in H3D, OP2, and PUNCH
    format for Static, Normal Mode, Frequency Response, Transient, and Random Response Analyses
    only."

    They did not make it for OPTI output. Strange...
