If *MEMBRANE SECTION is defined in Abaqus, the Nastran exporter populates only the MID1 field in PSHELL. If *SHELL SECTION is defined in
Abaqus, the Nastran exporter populates MID1 and MID2 fields in PSHELL. The MID3 field is populated
based on the conditions below.
- If the computed shear factor is ≥1000, the Nastran exporter leaves MID3 blank.
- If the shear factor is <1000 or if *TRANSVERSE SHEAR STIFFNESS is not
explicitly defined for the Abaqus shell, the Nastran exporter populates the MID3 field.

The local orientation associated with the section is translated to
the appropriate axis system (that is, CORD**) data card. The ID of the local
coordinate system is referenced in the MCID field of the shell elements
(corresponding to CTRIA3, CTRIA6, CTRIAR, CQUAD4, CQUAD8, and CQUADR). |

The local orientation associated with each solid element is
translated to CORD2R data cards. Multiple PSOLID cards are created for each distinct
axis system data card (that is, CORD**). The ID of this local coordinate
system is referenced in the CORDM field of the respective PSOLID data
card. |
