Sir Richard,

I understand what you mean.. I was only pointing to limited case.
Engineer's have there own approach.. My limited understanding in this software is that, I have to solve for both -stress(contraction) +stress(expansion) then add both range. And I know this approach is quite long than your approach.

Thank you for your clarification, For without it I maybe mislead by that topic. grin

Regards!
