      It is possible to extract the section internal force of shell181 element by Spoint and Fsum commands, but is it still possible to extract it by this command when there is a reinforcing bar element, reinf264 element, inside the shell?

      I believe fsum would still work and return the forces associated with both the shell and reinforcing elements.  Could you test it?

        When extracting internal forces from a hollow circular thin-walled shell structure section in ANSYS APDL, there are no nodes at the center position. How can the resultant force point be set using spoint and the forces extracted?

      You can enter the coordinates of the location you want the moment to be computed around with SPOINT,,X,Y,Z.
