As regards membrane stress, you have not be specific about your analysis and I am not able to comment much about it.
I am wondering how you define path as you have mentioned abt 'point' in your reply. Normally, I would use define path>by nodes. It seems that you have chosen define path>by location, of which I have not attempted before.
Hope that helps. K.K. Lee Nanyang Technological University Singapore

Thanks Lee for that reply, But i have checked that for all elements we will get membrane stress in the result listing of the path operations. And about the points, even though we define a path by many points, the listing takes only first two nodes for the listing. What can be done to this. Does it take only two points, because what we are seeing is at a section?
