The SPOINT command defines the point (any point other than the origin) about which moments are
summed.

7.2.4.3. Listing Element Table Data


To list specified data stored in the element table, use one of the following:
Command(s):PRETAB
GUI: Main Menu> General Postproc> Element Table> List Elem Table
Main Menu> General Postproc> List Results> Elem Table Data


To list the sum of each column in the element table, use the SSUM command (Main Menu> General
Postproc> Element Table> Sum of Each Item).
