I have a query related to comparing the ABAQUS results.

While viewing results, in the results options, by default the option is : "Compute Scalars before averaging" and the averaging threshold is set at 75%.

Second option is "compute scalars after averaging".

I can see the variation between no averaging and averaging, however what is the advantage or disadvantage of using "compute scalars after averaging"?

I check the ABAQUS manual, it does not state the advantage and disadvantage (I could not find this out).

Thanks
