Create custom field output using the top and bottom values of a shell element 1

[boek]

I am trying to compute the membrane and bending stresses using shell elements in ABAQUS. I would like to plot the resulting stress distributions. Is it possible to create a custom field output using the values at the top and bottom sections?

 

[FEA way]

It's possible with Python scripting. Check getSubset(sectionPoint) in the Scripting Reference guide in Abaqus documentation.
