Output is in a fixed cylindrical system (1=radial, 2=axial, 3=circumferential) unless a local coordinate system is assigned to the element through the section definition (“Orientations,” Section 2.2.5) in which case output is in the local coordinate system (which rotates with the motion in large-displacement analysis). See “State storage,” Section 1.5.4 of the Abaqus Theory Manual, for details.
Stress and other tensors (including strain tensors) are available for elements with displacement degrees of freedom. All tensors have the same components. For example, the stress components are as follows:
S11 | Local 11 direct stress. |

S12 | Local 12 shear stress. |
S13 | Local 13 shear stress. |
S23 | Local 23 shear stress. |
