Hi,

I have a model with different material layers.
I have created a path that is crossing through the different layers.
Due to the different behaviour of materials, the stress is discontinuous.
At the discontinuity, the node output gives two different values.
Do you have any idea how those value are computed? I did not find anything in the user manual.

Thanx
