Returns an average stress envelope based on the provided design context. This will envelope the results of all load combinations that are assigned to the specified context.
| Number | Name | Object Type | Description | Optional |

| 1 | Displacement | ShellStressTensor | A shell stress tensor containing the requested shell stress envelope. |
There are multiple check-boxes on this element that provide additional input control.

| Res Type | Def; Min; Max | The result type is specifically used for retrieving loads from a response spectrum (RSA) case. In RSA, the static load values are computed first (default). Then, the absolute RSA values are either added (maximum) or subtracted (minimum) from the default case. Thus, this option facilitates the choice between the default, minimum, or maximum RSA cases. Then the minimum or maximum values from within this case is selected with the “Min/Max” option. |
| Env Type | Min; Max | Indicates whether the minimum or maximum displacement values will be returned. Minimum refers to the smallest numerical value, where negative values are smaller than positive. Maximum refers to the largest numerical values, where positive values are greater than negative values. |
