Topic: tr shell01, general element output values

First off this is a great program, i am just beginning to scratch the surface. I have been looking through the documentation and the code files and i cannot find any information on what the output values are for each element. What are the 12 stress and strain output values for the tr_shell01 element? Did miss something in the documentation explaining this? Is there somewhere i can look in the future for each of the element types?

Re: tr shell01, general element output values

Hello,
the internal forces/moments should be ordered as follows:
sxForce(1), syForce(2),szForce(3),syzForce(4),qxzForce(5),qxyForce(6),
mxMoment(7),myMoment(8),mzMoment(9),myzMoment(10),mxzMoment(11),mxyMoment(12)

Note: mx is a moment around y-axis, defined as mx=\int sigma_x z dz.
I will try to update documentation soon.
