I would also recommend this document: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/images/7/78/VTK-Quadrature-Point-Design-Doc.pdf which explains the current integration (gauss) point support. It doesn't do what he wants but it's worth a read. Best, -berk On Wed, Oct 22, 2014 at 7:44 PM, Scott, W Alan <wasc...@sandia.gov<mailto:wasc...@sandia.gov>> wrote: A question from a user. I believe that answer is correct to the first bullet, and the answer is no to the second bullet? 1 - Averaging a nodal result from surrounding elements is OK as long as the node is within a homogenous body. This process is not correct for nodes on the boundary between two different materials. 2 - Is there a process to extrapolate element integration point quantities (stresses, strains) to nodes for elements with non-linear shape functions?
