I suppose that the stresses we are getting in shell element is calculated at integration points. Kindly confirm.
If we need to calculate at nodal points, we have to do it manually or there is any other simple method.

Thanks and regards,

Thanks a lot for your valuable comments. I tried the same wall making it finer mesh using Shell element. Now the deflection and base reactions are matching with the SAP2000 results but the stresses are still not matching. Can you please explain how the stresses are recorded in openSEES. If any resea...

I am modeling a simple shearwall using ShellMITC4 element. The programme is working fine. But when i model the same wall using SAP2000 the result does not match. Can you please guide me where i am doing mistake while programming in OpenSEES. I am attaching the input file of openSEES. Thanks in advan...
