COMPONENT, 'S22'), (COMPONENT, 'S33'), (COMPONENT, 'S12'), (COMPONENT,
'S13'), (COMPONENT, 'S23'), )), ), stepFrame=SPECIFY )

 

[FEA way]

In Abaqus scripting, you can use "for" loops like you normally would in Python codes. This way it's possible to loop through elements, nodes or frames like in this case. The use of loops in Abaqus postprocessing scripts is presented in the article "Automate boring postprocessing in Abaqus using python scripting" on Simuleon blog, that might be a good starting point for you (apart from the documentation of course).
