There is a real need for users who are working with plate elements.

The current interface only allows the user to see the contours for plate center stress for a selected load case or combination.

However for design engineer it is important to assess the envelope of max or min stresses for particular set of load case or combination.

Currently I'm using a macro to extract the plate center stresses and find the envelope (including wood armers method for combining torsional stresses). But a contour view within STAAD interface would be helpful.
