Thanks Brad and Charles. Yes, I seem to forget about the CellFilterAvg once in a while.

 Birendra,
 
 Amplifying what Charles
 said:
 
 The strains on the
 boundary will be zero if there is zero displacement 
 on the boundary, but the strains inside the
 cells may be nonzero. The 
 strains in the
 output come from the integration points, and 
 CellFilterAvg gives the average over the
 integration points in the cell.
 
 Regards,
 Brad

 Strain always honors boundary conditions; however, you
