Guys, do we have OptiStruct version of Nastran's NUMOUT, NUMOUT1, NUMOUT2, NUMOUT3 keywords? I want to output only top N values of composite strain index

I have this command

CFAILURE(OPTI,NDIV=1,CENTER) = ALL

and it generates .cstr file with all elemental strain failure indices:

But I want to output only top 5 elemental results or just one max.

Thank you!
