Extrapolation from Integration Point results to Corner Nodes
ERESX, default: If element is fully elastic (no active plasticity, creep, or swelling
nonlinearities), extrapolate the integration point results to the nodes. If any portion of
the element is plastic (or other active material nonlinearity), copy the integration point
results to the nodes.
Nonlinear data (plastic, creep, and swelling strains) are always copied to the nodes,
never extrapolated. For shell elements, ERESX applies only to integration point
results in the in-plane directions.
ERESX,no allows to treat all data like nonlinear data (copy)
ERESX,yes allows to extrapolate within the linear portion of a partly nonlinearly acting
element
Workbench Mechanical: This command has no GUI representation, use a command
object instead!
Note: Singularities, wrong averaging over different materials and the averaging
scheme for Midnodes might lead to such values as well.

Further notes
The way the facet colors are handled by Mechanical/MAPDL are different
but the contour differences due to this handling should be minor.
Mechanical does not maintain multiple stress values at a node (e.g. for
exports) MAPDL allows to list all these results.
