The connect element has only three "strain" components - traction/compression in normal (Z) direction (thickness direction) and both transverse shears XZ and YZ. Actually, in-plane shear, as well as lateral tractions/compressions does not give any resistance forces. It's a pure "connection" element and is not intended to be used in independent way.

If you need to check /SECT forces, i suggest create section on the one of specimens parts.

Hi,

Yes, you can create a section on any specimens and check /SECT forces.
