Hola ya'll!

I am using Ansys workbench 16.2.
This is the situation: we have two plates, modelled with two bodies, glued together.
I defined a contact region between the two bodies: it is a surface, type bonded.
Then in "fracture" I defined an interface delamination, method CZM.
I solve the problem. In postprocessing, I would like to obtain the stresses in the contact region: normal and shear sresses, to see where they are maximum, where they are low and so on. I can only have Ansys give me a global force reaction of the whole contact region.
I clicked on tons of buttons, but cannot get the stresses over the contact region :)
Is there a way to do that?

Thank you very much!
