Shear force calculation for a non-beam section in ANSYS or ABAQUS

[Rajnan07]

My model is not a beam section. I am aware of the fact that for beam section I can calculate shear force in ANSYS or ABAQUS. But I am not understanding how to calculate shear force(any face) for my model? Your comments would be highly appreciated.
Thank You.

 

[FEA way]

In Abaqus you can request the NFORC (nodal force) variable and use Free Body Cut tool to obtain total force at a given section of the model. Another way is to ise Integrated Output Section feature and request SOF variable (total force on the surface).

But in that way I will get total force. But I want to know the shear force in that particular face.
