Note: Complex data is stored as columns 1-40 are real/magnitude and columns 41-80 are imaginary/phase. When STRESS(CORNER) is specified in the Case Control Section of the model, columns 1-80 for solid and shell elements are repeated for each element node. The corresponding column number is equal to:

COLUMN NUMBER + (80 x NODE NUMBER).
