Analyzing shells - stresses at integration pint

Dear all,

I'm getting started with abaqus, so forgive me if some of these questions are a little dumb.

When i'm analyzing a small shell model (thinwalled aluminium column) in a linear elastic way, I'd like to directly export (or read) the stresses/strains/otherdata at the integration points. This circumvents nodal averaging, and enables me to view stresses across the thickness of the shell.

Is this possible, and if yes, how can it be done?

Thanks a lot!
