I am trying to output section force and moment. I can not figure out how to define a section output. Would you show me how to do that?

    look at this example, attacehd.

     

                           SECTION COORDINATE SYSTEMS           
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Section      XX         XY         XZ         YX         YY         YZ    
                 ZX         ZY         ZZ         RX         RY         RZ    
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    c1        1.000E+00  0.000E+00  0.000E+00  0.000E+00  1.000E+00  0.000E+00
              0.000E+00  0.000E+00  1.000E+00  2.500E+03  2.082E-04  2.500E+02
    c2        1.000E+00  0.000E+00  0.000E+00  0.000E+00  1.000E+00  0.000E+00
              0.000E+00  0.000E+00  1.000E+00  2.500E+03  1.000E+03  2.500E+02
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Note: (XX,XY,XZ) (YX,YY,YZ) (ZX,ZY,ZZ) identify the axes of the coordinate
          system and (RX,RY,RZ) identifies the reference point

                         SECTION RESULTANTS FOR SUBCASE       3

    Section       F         Fx         Fy         Fz          M         Mx         My         Mz
