Wenhui – what would you like to calculate? The solution that you get in ChElementShellANCF_3423.cpp provides the time evolution of the nodal unknowns, which in this case are two per node – the position, and the gradient of the position with respect to the w coordinate (the w axis is defined in the reference configuration). The nodal unknowns are associated with the corners of the shell, and then all the other quantities, e.g., strain, stress, deformation gradient are evaluated based on these nodal unknowns, at *any* point in the entire volume occupied by the shell in the reference configuration.
