Surface plot of maximum stress over a time interval

I have a 3D time dependant model in which the stresses in a body changes over time. Now I want to make a surface plot with the maximum stress (e.g. von Mises) that takes place over one surface for the entire time range of the study.
I have looked at maximum data sets and surface maximum under derived values but I only seem to get the maximum stress (in one point) for each time step. But I cant figure out how to get the maximum stress for all elements in one surface for any of the time steps.. Any ideas?

Hi Jesper,
The timemax operator does that. See Reference Manual, version 5.2a, page 249. All manuals are accessed through the File > Help > Documentation menu.
Best,
Jeff
