Hello Sophie,

in order to calculate the srain you need to create the surface component then you select the created surface component in Explorer by click on it, and you go to inspection in menu ->Check dimensions->Check Epsilon

as you see in the attached image




2- you select in the explorer the inspection lets say Epsilon x then in the menu file-> export->stage data->CSV:
As you see in the attached image

Hi Sophie,
if I get you right, you want the strain in one facet calculated from a tensor regarding the four corners of a facet?! There is currently no possibility to do this. The strain is always calculated from a neighborhood of points (each point is depending on a facet). Then the procedure is as Mohamed described neatly. 
But we heard the wish and I will count up the number of people who asked for this feature. 
Thank you for your feedback!
Best,
Thorsten
