      It is flaw in the internal algorithm and default settings that DesignLife uses to calculate the surface stress. There are two approaches that can be used to avoid this behavior. 1. Go to Advanced Edit > FE Results > Analysis Glyph and turn off SurfaceNodesOnly, and ResolveToLocal 2. Use more than a 1 element mesh Note: This flaw can also occur on the symmetry boundary in real models.
