In the weak contribution, one term is . This means that must adapt so that the thickness direction stress is zero (in the weak sense).

That's what I expected but I never saw this in equation view in any version higher than 5, why?

When plane stress is chosen, there seems to be no constraint on the z stress in its strong or weak form, why?

The weak equation reads:

(-solid.Sl11*test(solid.el11)-2*solid.Sl12*test(solid.el12)-2*solid.Sl13*test(solid.el13)-solid.Sl22*test(solid.el22)-2*solid.Sl23*test(solid.el23)-solid.Sl33*test(solid.el33))*solid.d

Now, if you look in Equation View, you will find that solid.el33 is equal to the auxiliary degree of freedom wZ, representing the strain in the transverse direction. This DOF will then be adjusted so that the transverse stress solid.Sl33 is forced to be zero (in a weak sense).
