In the text output, as part of each stress summary, results are given at each node, eg as follows:

Why do the results give a load pair for equation 9? Equation 9 should not be ranging between load cases.
Agree the range for Eqn 9 is not needed. This was added by request to synch back to the fatigue report to figure out what load cases was causing the biggest problems. If not interesting for your review, suggest to ignore Eq 9 ranging.
