Greetings,
I am looking for an Abaqus scripting procedure to access the nodal forces of a set of shell elements. It seems I can only reach the nodal displacements. Besides how can I read the data regarding the initial geometry (dimension) of every mesh?

Hi Shayan Safaei ,
I am posting a Python code I used for Abaqus 2017 (I think they did not change Abaqus API version for 2018 and 2019). Hope it would help.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from odbAccess import *
from abaqusConstants import *
odb=openOdb(filename)
INSTANCE=odb.rootAssembly.instances[instance_name].nodeSets[nodeSet_name]
FRAME=odb.steps[step_name].frames
reactionForce=FRAME[i].fieldOutputs['RT'].getSubset(region=INSTANCE).values
#To get initial nodal coordinates, export initial_FRAME[0]
coord=FRAME[i].fieldOutputs['COORD'].getSubset(region=INSTANCE).values
