Visualise STRESS on SHELL ELEMENTS in ABAQUS

(OP)
Hi everybody!

How can I visualise STRESSES un different planes of the SHELL ELEMENTT in Abaqus?
I want to visualise STRESS on the TOP plane and the BOTTOM plane of the shell.
Abaqus gives me only STRESS on the middle plane.

Thank you

Regards

RE: Visualise STRESS on SHELL ELEMENTS in ABAQUS

Shell elements are two dimensional. The third dimension is only a visual thing. An analogy would be, "Why can't I view a stress plot of a beam model while the cross-section is rendered?" And the answer of course is, you can't because they are one dimensional.
