I was wondering how to possibly get symbols display (stress or strain directions or symbol display based on a stress status (like square if ip\_Status=1, circle if ip\_Status=2, circle if ip\_Status=3) at Gauss points!

I am afraid it is only possible at points (nodes) through 3D glyph. I do not really like this option as the stresses and the stress status are computed at gauss points!

Thank you
