Principal Stress - recent changes in the solutions filter menu?

I would like to check if the recent change to the principal Stress menu item is on purpose?
It used to look like this:

But now it looks like this, and only has directions 0-1.

Hi @USFR_ENG,

Thanks for your message.

I’ve confirmed that there has been a recent change in the way we store the results, particularly for principal stresses. Here are the changes:

  1. The PRIN_1, PRIN_2, PRIN_3 previously referred to the magnitude of Principal stresses, which is now renamed Max. Mid. Min. Principal stress.
  2. The 3 principal vectors VECT_1, VECT_2, VECT_3 and their corresponding components are stored as Max. Principal, Mid. Principal and Min. Principal stress.
  3. FYI: The same logic applies for Principal strains

There is also a bug where this is not being properly reported. Our team is aware of this and is working on a solution, which should be in place by next week, on the latest.

Cheers!
Igor

Solved: Thanks, I can see the new menu item as shown below.
Small comment for later tidying: all the items for Principal Stress would be neater if they were listed together.
