Hi chaps!

how does cosmos report (stress) value's? Averaged or also discrete?

Do some of you use the discrete option as convergence check?

Thank you all!

You have either choice. Discrete option can be used as a convergence check but it is even more powerful when used to more clearly see the load path, how the energy is flowing through your model. As averaged plots spread out the values homogeneously.
