I was running a model in Ansys to get some stress plots. The contour plots are working fine. Then i wanted to know the load direction at certain points. So, i got a vector plot for principal stress. But, then i wanted to get a vector plot of maximum shear stress as well which i am not getting. Can anybody help me on this? Also if this is at all not possible, can somebody tell me how to get that from principal stress itself?

Since taumax=(sig1-sig2)/2 I should say you can do something with ETABLEs... This will produce a colour plot but I am not sure that you can get it to work with vectors.
