Xiao,

The stresses are computed at each of the quadrature points within a 
cell. This is true for all cell related data. By default the output 
includes the values at all of the quadrature points. You can use the 
CellFilterAvgMesh filter (see the tutorials in the manual and the 
examples) to have PyLith average the values over the quadrature points 
so you end up with the values (e.g., stress tensor) at just point per cell.

Regards,
Brad
