Hi everybody again!

Asking for STRESS in Nastran gives you back stresses in each ply of an element which property is a PCOMP card and you can see stresses in each ply at the .f06 file.

However, when I import the .op2 file in I-DEAS and try to visualize ply stresses, I-DEAS show you just one one group of results, I mean, it doesn't show you stresses for each ply.

So, does anyone know what ply stress shown by I-DEAS correspond to?

Thank's very much
