Element.getGaussResults


getGaussResults(iGauss, entity, component, [units], [loadcase])

Return result value of specified type and component at Gauss point for element. All options (loadcase, transformation, Wood-Armer, composite layer, etc) will be taken from the current view If an UnitSet object (or its name) is given, the value will be returned in those units. Otherwise it will be returned in the database's current unit system. Note that for efficiency the requested results are cached and will not be removed from the system (and so will potentially use a large amount of memory) until explicitly removed with a call to flushScriptedResults
