Input
(Refer to "Solid Stresses")
Upon executing the Solid > Force & Stress Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click OK Button after selecting the output entities such as nodes or elements, loading conditions, construction stages, etc.
Note
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.
