I am trying to get PEMAG value for a shell element in Abaqus 6.10. I understand the default is top and bottom section points. However, I am struggling to get the output at other section points e.g. mid or 3. Is there a way to do that in CAE (only top and bottom are showing when using the Results>Section Points) or I would need script to access those values at section points 2,3,4? My shell elements have 5 integration points defined. Thanks in advance.

By default, output is written only for those 2 section points. You can change that in field output requests where it’s possible to specify section point numbers.
 
Thanks. How do I specify the section points in the input file while requesting the output? Is there a specific keyword for that? I tried looking in to the Abaqus manual, but could not find any.
For example I currently have,
*Element Output, Elset=ABCD
S,PE

It seems the output will be written for the default two points (top & bottom).
