In the Stress Extended Report, the nodepairs constituting each element are listed. And as a node is (very often) shared between two or more elements, every node appears more then once.

After using CAESAR for a month or so, these values have shown to be
- often identical
- sometimes slightly different
- sometimes very different

What I am trying to get hold of is how CAESAR is treating these shared nodes, where they in my experience are given different values depending on what element in the report you are looking at.

I would also be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction of any "FE-documentation" on CAESAR (i.e. anything about how the calculations are made, something that could answer the above question for instance). Have looked at the tecnical reference manual, but to me it was not very helpfull..

Thank you!
