Resultant Shear Stress in ABAQUS

[SM1994]

Hello
I am wondering if there is any way to visualise the resultant shear stress on a part?
I have two objects in contact and produce shear stress in different directions.
Like CSHEARF magnitude force, I wonder whether there is any way to calculate the resultant shear stress on the surface.

Thank you

For history output, you can request CFSM - magnitude of total force due to frictional stress. If you need field output you may use the Create Field Output —> From Fields tool or Python scripting to create your own output variable by defining an equation operating on existing outputs.

Thank you for your responses.
I need field output.
The filed output generates the resultant shear force. Is it possible to define a field output that dived this resultant shear force by the corresponding element area?
Since I need resultant shear stress rather than resultant shear force.
Thank you

Frictional shear stresses are also available in field output - in form of a CSHEAR variable (part of CSTRESS). You can do some further operations on this output as described above.

Your solution resolved my issue.
I created a new field output based on the existing field outputs.
Thank you so much
