i need to know because the SectionAggregator is getting it's info from the components .. and the different possible components seem to be all over the place in regards to what they spew out .. it would only be a GUESS if i was to say
eps - axial strain X dirn
gammaY - shear defo Y dirn
gammaZ 0 shear defo Z dirn
kappaY - curvature about Y
kappaZ - curvature about Z
theta - torsional or curvature about X
