You can only record stresses and strains for fiber elements with cross sections of interest.

To record a particular fiber number:
recorder Element $ele -file $filename section $sec fiber $i stressStrain

To record at a y,z coordinate in the section:
recorder Element $ele -file $filename section $sec fiber $y $z stressStrain

To record at y,z with a particular material tag:
recorder Element $ele -file $filename section $sec fiber $y $z $tag stressStrain
