LABS laminate ply stresses
I tested the labs function to get laminate ply stresses. A good step forward.
However, it seems that you get pricipal stresses and shear stresses. It would be more practical to get the complete stress tensor in the material coordinate system.
Furthermore, we need a way to identify the plys. The current L1, L2 is ambigous if you have several lay-ups, which you often have.

I don't understand the problem with the layer naming. Is it because the same names L1, etc will be used on different lay-ups so it's unclear which is which? Perhaps the component visibility is useful to show/hide parts with different lay-ups? Or could you suggest an alternative way to present it?
