I need to compute the shear forces (Q13 Q23), the bending moments (M11, M22, and M12), and the normal forces at each node in a shell element. These are listed as SMISC 1-7 for SHELL181. However, it says they are not in the results file when I try to access them. I have tried to include everything in the output file using the OUTRES command. Any help on computing these values would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
