6 for 3D state
4 for the other cases
The stresses are the components of CAUCHY stress tensor in global (X,Y,Z) coordinates.
For the 3-D state:
| SIG(1) | $\sigma_{xx}$ |
| SIG(2) | $\sigma_{yy}$ |
| SIG(3) | $\sigma_{zz}$ |
| SIG(4) | $\sigma_{xy}$ |
| SIG(5) | $\sigma_{xz}$ |
| SIG(6) | $\sigma_{yz}$ |
For the other cases:
| SIG(1) | $\sigma_{xx}$ |
| SIG(2) | $\sigma_{yy}$ |
| SIG(3) | $\sigma_{xy}$ |
| SIG(4) | $\sigma_{zz}$ |
