Global out of plane shear for plates

Provide an option for plate out of plane results to be viewed using global shear. Having the out of plane shear per unit length is helpful for determining if the plate width needs to be increased to meet the demand. Using the RC designer is to check shear is a hassle and takes a lot of extra steps.

    May I add a bit of additional thought on this if okay:

    Please, could the "Global out of plane shear" be included the " Stress Type" drop down lists and the corresponding "Stress Contour Plot" included as well. This is particularly helpful in quickly resolving shear stresses when Triangular plates/elements are used together with quadrilateral elements on irregular structural geometries.

    Thanks
