Hi @Rafal.Gaweda,

this is not what I am looking for. I have already seen this API, but I need to obtain results in element centers via query mechanism.

@Rafal.Gaweda, @Artur.Kosakowski someone know how to solve this problem? Because, if you have lots of panels and FEs, this could be a smart way to reduce the time consumption of the process. For example, you probably can divide by 4 the time necessary to obtain results!

Hi @Anonymous

Please mind that actually the results for surface elements are calculated in so called Gauss points so neither in corners nor in their centers. The prior values are obtained by extrapolation of values from the Gauss points whereas the later as the averaging results from nodes.
