Abaqus Scripting different result than Probe

[rob1231]

Hi,
I'm reading the max Mises stress in my simulation with the getMaxMises script in the Abaqus scripting documentation.

This gives me an answer but when I use the GUI to go to the the frame and element to probe, the Mises stress is much lower (factor around 1000 but not consistently always the same).

Could this be an issue where a stress concentration is not shown in the GUI but somehow is found using the script?
I'm running an explicit simulation with many time-steps and want to do a parameter study so I need the script to give me the right maxMises stress...

Thanks for your help!

Turn off results averaging for measurement. And try using Tools --> Field Output --> Create From Frames. There you can find maximum value over specified frames.

Thanks for the answer.
I found a way around the issue using the stress envelope as you suggested!
