Create a stress histogram in post-processing simulations

I am using Solidworks Premium, I would like to compare several designs of the same part by creating a histogram of the stresses supported by these different versions. The goal will be to establish  a percentage of the volume of the part supporting a stress  between 120 and 150 MPa  then  150_170 MPa  etc  and then to compare these results  from one version to another (I understand that the pictures offer this kind of comparison, but it's purely visual and I want a table with values). The icing on the cake is that I would also like to know which part of these stresses represents mainly tension and which part represents mainly  compression, I will spare you shear... And above all, is it possible with the Premium version I use ?

Hello

See the solution here:

What you want to do is very similar to what SW calls "tendency":

But it's available in simulation pro and premium (so not in Solidworks premium which only has the 'basic' version of simulation)

A little check and you have it ;-)
