UnitNumber Unit Number Energy Density Tree Strain energy density * Strain energy density. The strain energy density for a beam is a measure of how hard the beam is working. The average strain energy density is the average density along the element or member.

* DataTree organised as { CaseID ; Permutation ; ElementID } fx. {1;2;3} is Case 1, Permutation 2, Element 3, where each branch contains a list of results per element position.
