Hi, I'm running a compression simulation and I need stress-strain curve for the whole model and not on a single element or node. how can I archive this?

You can use a group of elements and calculate average stress/strain for them.
 
You can use Report -> Field Output to export results and sum the values. Now it would be easy to calculate an average.

But I doubt that it actually makes sense for stresses and strains on a 3D model.
 
should I find the element with the highest stress /strain or average all? doesn't that makes more sense?
