That's correct. Here is a simple MSH2 example with 2 quads, with values [1 0 0, 2 0 0, 3 0 0] and [1 0.1 0.1, 0.1 2 0.1, 0.1 0.1 3]: $MeshFormat 2.0 0 8 $EndMeshFormat $Nodes 6 1 0.0 0.0 0.0 2 0.1 0.0 0.0 3 0.1 0.3 0.0 4 0.0 0.3 0.0 5 0.0 0.15 0.0 6 0.1 0.15 0.0 $EndNodes $Elements 2 1000 3 2 6 100 1 2 6 5 1001 3 2 6 100 5 6 3 4 $EndElements $ElementData 1 "stress field per element" 1 0. 3 0 9 2 1000 1 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 3 1001 1 0.1 0.1 0.1 2 0.1 0.1 0.1 3 $EndElementData PS: the next release will improve the computation of the min/max for tensor fields. (Currently the min/max is computed using the default representation for tensors, i.e. Von-Mises. The next release will take the tensor visualization mode into account when explicitly requesting the calculation of min/max.)
