Is it possible to extract layered solid composite stress (on PCOMPLS) in frequency response

Question

Hello, I'm trying to extract stress on a composite that is modelled using PCOMPLS. I used the same laminate in linear static, where I extracted layered solid composite stress, I ued same composite panel(or methodology) to build remaining structure using HEXA elements for modal, sine and random analysis.

But in frequency response simulations, I'm unable to extract CSTRESS/STRESS on PCOMPLS components. 
Question 1) Is it possible to extract stress on PCOMPLS in frequency response simulations?
Question 2) Should I change my modelling methodology? If so, my whole FE model results vary.

If anyone tried or has any observations, comment here.

Also tried to run frequency response on the example model below, but no luck.

Hi Solon,

Thank you for your response. I checked with the latest version, 2026.1. It's working.
If I use PCOMPLS for random vibration also, how can I check stress on the composite? because layered solid composite stress is not possible for random.

Hello,

Yes, this should be possible from Sc Optistruct version 2026.1 and on:
