Hi, I am modeling a large masonry building with shell (50x50 cm approximately),
I created a lot of section cut ( about 2000 ) with excel spreadsheet.
After analyzing the model I exported tables showing the resultant stresses for each section cut.

I would like to know if there is a way to export a table showing:
-) the total length of the section cut
-) the thickness of the sectioned shell


thanks to all and sorry for my english.

I'm not sure what you mean by total length of section cuts, this depends on the quadrilateral plane you defined (either trasnversely or longitudinally).
Of course the thickness is again relevant to the plane dimension you defined in Excel.
Think of section cut as plane cutting through elements (shell, frame and etc.) whichp integrated the forces in that cut region.

Shoot for the Moon, even if U miss, U still land among Stars!
 
You can use conncetivity data table for the length of your element.
I forget the table for the thickness, try to see from property definition table, i think is it.
