Q. When a hyperelastic material is defined for SHELL181 element, it seems like we are mixing up EPELZ and EPELX strain components in /POST1.
For linear elastic material, the strains look correct. Switch to hyperelastic material with all other things equal, the x and z components are mysteriously reversed.
If I run same test on a solid block with SOLID185, the numbers look correct. What is wrong?

A. This was a code defect (#43324) at ANSYS10.A1. It has been corrected for 11.0.
