Maximum stress on a surface

Hi all,
Is it possible to report maximum stress (V. Mises) for a particular surface as opposed to the maximum stress for the entire model? For my model I have an applied pressure to the top of a knee implant. I need to find the maximum stress for the entire model, which have been obtained, and for the top surface. I have tried creating a surface and also a set for the top surface but can find no option for reporting the stress as there is for the whole part.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

You can create a field output request with the set you created to output Von Mises for that set.

Also, I assume you are not looking at contact pressure, purely because you have no other part in contact?
 
Hi,
For whole parts, the easiest way is to contour option> limits>show location.

Good luck,
