Stresses in the nodes, much higher than in between

Hi,

I find that, in some areas, the stresses are much higher in the nodes than in between the nodes. It's safer to go with the higher values, but is is also more accurate? Can I adjust the interpolation of the stresses to make the values flow more smoothelly between the nodes? I have a pretty dens mesh, but I still wonder, does this wide range of stresses within the same typical areas indicate that the solution does not have enough resolution?
