The order of the element nodal data, integration point data, and section point data for beams and shells follows the conventions defined in the Abaqus Elements Guide.

Optional arguments

sectionPoint: A SectionPoint object specifying the location in the section. Although sectionPoint is an optional argument to theaddData method, omitting the argument does have consequences for visualization. If you omit the argument when you are writing field output data for a shell or a beam, you cannot subsequently select the section point to display when you are displaying the field output data using the Visualization module.
