How to get stresses plotted as node clouds?

[fceyhuns]

Hello,

I would like to come back to this question about the stress on element or node. #315 (reply in thread)

With ansys.mapdl.reader when I use

elem,estress,enode = ansysresult.element_solution_data(rr, datatype='ENS')

enode gives me a list where 8 node id's are listed for each element whose id is available in elem.
estress gives lists of 48 values. As far as I understand, it represents 6 components for each node composing the element.

I would like to plot the results in a different environment as node clouds. In that case, the only way I can think of is averaging the stress values from each node. It will also require coordinate information and again the most straight forward way i can think of is averaging the nodal coordinates.
Is there a smarter way to convert nodal stress from 8 nodes to 1 representative value?
