      Stress concentrations can’t be averaged out in post-processing because numerically, stress in stress singularity regions goes infinity as mesh is refined. General tips include adding fillets to replace sharp edge, avoiding point constrains and point loads, and use stress of nearby elements to approximate stress at singularity regions.
