/output/stress/statistics

type
A variable indicating the type of quantity to be computed. There are three choices: 1) cartesian calculates the mean and standard deviation of each component of the stress tensor as defined by the screen horizontal and vertical directions; 2) eigenvalues calculates the mean and standard deviation of the principal stress (the eigenvalues, labeled emax, emid, and emin) and the shear (computed as half the absolute value of the difference between the largest and smallest eigenvalues). These quantities are frame invariant; 3) extremes calculates the extreme (maximum and minimum) values of both Cartesian and invariant quantities. The means, deviations, and extremes of the stress components are printed in the tensor format used by /output/stress/selected (3.38.1), although the extremes don't really form a tensor. 4) invariants calculates the mean and standard deviation of the first, second, and third invariants of the stress.
