Time is first. Then, you have the response for the first node as defined in the element (6 dofs), followed by the second node (6 dofs).

In element quadup, there are 4 nodes for each element. Each node has 3 dofs: 2 translational displacements and 1 for pore water pressure. The result you have shows the resisting force vector for the element 10 (in your case).
