Neuber Stress correction considers only Von mises stress in a linear loadcase setup

Customers usually assume that if they have switched on the Yield criterion YF=2 in the MATS1 card. The solver will consider the Maximum principal stress instead of Von mises Stress for a Linear Load Case setup.

But YF=2 is supported only for Explicit Dynamic Analysis. Hence Neuber stress correction will not consider Maximum principal stress when load case setup is Linear static in nature
