Stress Linearization, Stress Intensity and Tresca*2 results

(OP)
Hey,

I am performing a pressure vessel analysis using ASME boiler code Section VIII Division 2.  This requires examining the stress intensity.  The stress linearization software provides an average value of the stress intensity Pm + Pb, but the code requires finding the greatest intensity through a section; not an average.  

However, the Tresca value is define as a measure of the maximum shear stress.  Is the Tresca*2 stress result output a good approxiation of the stress intensity?

Thanks,
