Hi everyone,

I'm facing the titled issue, that is well explained in this formula I'm reporting below:

I tried using HyperView, asking for Strain(t) in contour panel and "Absolute Max Principal" as result type. How can I go further? I can't think about a way to do this weighted average over element volumes since I don't have volume information in output. Do you have any idea?

    you could use "Result Math' to get something like what you need.

    You won't have the summation directly, but at least you could have the product V*result for each element.

    One you have the results for all your elements, you could use 'Query' to get a list of all the desired elements.

    Hope this helps.
