  I am simulating a geometrie in compression in the x direction and i need to determine the Young modulus of said structure/geom. Having imposed the deformation with a displacement, all i need is the average stress value. But how do i get to it?

  Isn't it available in the details section of the stress object? It applies to the scoped bodies....

  I don't seem to have it... Checked the options a bit too. Maybe it's due to the version of ANSYS that i'am using.

  Very likely, you should upgrade as that is an old version

  hello. So i upgraded to the latest version of ansys academic (2019 R2) yet i still can't find it!!! Do i need a paid version? or does it need to be activated in the options/settings ?

  Try deleting the stress plot and recreating it in 2019 R2 since the "old" result didn't have it. If that doesn't work, clear the solution and solve again.
  
  The Average is available in the student license and is always visible.

  Ok i found the average, but it's a nodal average. But as I am looking for the Young modulus of the structure shown in the picture, I am looking for the average stress in the x-direction with the average being based on the integration points not the nodal ones here. I can't find a way to extract it. Moreover, now that i think about it, there doesn't seem to be an option in solution to insert x, y or z stress like with the directionnal deformation.
  
  I am sorry if the answer is obvious and i just can't find. I am trying to learn ansys by myself that's why.
