The Abaqus shell element outputs the stress value of each integral point on the node and makes it a three-dimensional solid element, so that the stress value of each point in the Z direction can be known. The shell element is regarded as a surface, and only the nodes on the surface can be selected and the results on the surface can be output.

ABAQUS is a set of powerful finite element software for engineering simulation, and its solution ranges from relatively simple linear analysis to many complex nonlinear problems. ABAQUS includes a rich cell library, which can simulate any geometric shape. It also has a variety of material model libraries, which can simulate the performance of typical engineering materials, including metal, rubber, polymer materials, composite materials, reinforced concrete, compressible superelastic foam materials, rock and soil and other geological materials. As a general simulation tool, ABAQUS can not only solve a large number of structural (stress/displacement) problems, but also simulate many problems in other engineering fields, such as heat conduction, mass diffusion, thermoelectric coupling analysis, acoustic analysis and so on.
