Hello!

I would like to set an initial stress state in a multilayered shell model, but I have a few questions:

1) Is there a difference between the Gauss integration point, Eint, and the section integration point number, ParmInt? I have been referencing integration points using ParmInt

2) How are integration points referenced? I've been assuming that the first integration point (indexed as 1) is taken at the origin.

Any information would be appreciated!
