Hi to all

I am analyzing a simple 2D truss with Abaqus/CAE as you see
it in the below picture. But I  have trouble
in evaluating forces in each element ( each link of truss is an element). I use
several way to get this forces , first of all use free body cut , as you know
for this solution I must spent a lot of time to evaluate this forces for all
link and can't get tabular report  for
each element.

Another way is using Nforc (Nodal forces of each element ) but
when I use it in the report file I were confused from the difference in the
resultant forces in the beginning and the end of an element , as you see in the
below picture that I highlight for element 1 in the Node 1 and Node 2.

Another way is create a new field to  multiply Stress (S11) in each element to its
cross section area to compute the normal forces, but since the cross sections
of my truss has defferent value I don't know how can define a function for that
to know this.

Finally I completely confused and want you to help me, I ask
this question from everybody but they can't guide me.  I hope I can find my question in a good forum
such as IMechanica.

Thank you...
