Stress in midside nodes of plane 8-node elements

Stress in midside nodes of plane 8-node elements

(OP)
Hi

It is not possible to get the midside nodal stress values for a plane 8-node element in ansys apdl. Ive read in other forums that this is because the data is redundant. Do you agree and if so, why? The displacements are of a quadratic formulation, but isn't that also true for stress. I cannot seem to find a source clearly stating either one or the other. Help is much appreciated.

Best regards,
BTHS
