Hello team,

I'm creating a script that gets the stress values in elements defined by element Id and would like to compare the stress values with the ultimate ones for material automatically. So, I wonder how to get the values of material properties for the element with a defined Id using Mechanical API or DPF?

Thanks

    The following code:

    import mech_dpf
import Ans.DataProcessing as dpf
mech_dpf.setExtAPI(ExtAPI)
dataSources = mech_dpf.GetDataSources(2)
mat_op = dpf.operators.metadata.material_provider()
mat_op.inputs.data_sources.Connect(dataSources)
mats = mat_op.outputs.materials.GetData()

    bringing error:

    Could not find the specified Output Type.

    Why showed code doesn't work?
