Dear Ma'am,

Thank you for reply. I have one query. I have brick element to simulate my 3D problem. Now I want to calculate the bending moment. Can you please tell me how to calculate that as force recorder only provide the shear forces.

I will wait for your reply.

Thank you

Use shear forces to calculate the moments.
