<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The issue is that your stress field data is associated with the cells and you are writing out the point data in your csv file. Thus, the stress data is not being
written. There are two solutions, both with flaws:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Solution 1: When you get the dialog box labeled “Configure Writer (DataSetCSVWriter)” (after you choose a filename), change the option “Field Association” from
“Points” to “Cells”. If you do this option, you will only get the x, y, and z for the stress (labeled “stress:0”, “stress:1”, and “stress:2”). You will not get the x, y, z information for the placement of the points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Solution 2: Before writing out the csv file, run the “Cell Data to Point Data” filter. Then write out the csv file with point data as you have been doing. You
will get the x, y, and z for the stress (labeled “stress:0”, “stress:1”, and “stress:2”) and you will also get the positional x, y, and z (labeled “Points:0”, “Points:1”, and “Points:2”). The problem with this solution is that it will alter the stress data
slightly by averaging values of adjacent cells to points.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Also note that neither of these options will automatically write out the magnitude of the stress. To write out the stress magnitude, first run the “Calculator”
filter to compute the magnitude of the stress vectors.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
