Re: Regarding results at integration points in shell element (S4R) through the thickness

In beam and shell elements Abaqus is providing results only for a 
certain set of section points by default.
You need to explicitly request output for more section points. See 
keyword manual, command *ELEMENT OUTPUT
The number of section points through the thickness can be adapted.
