    Status: Open => Answered

Jan Stránský proposed the following answer:
Hello,

> A first thought was that the force Fz is a resultant concentrated load
acting on the plate. If this is the case, would I just need to divide Fz
by the load area to get the area-based stress (same input unit sigma as
TriaxialStressController)?

Yes,
Fz is force, no involvement of area.
To get (area-based) stress, divide force with corresponding area.

Cheers
Jan
