Hi Thiagarajan

I suggest you can pick the critical axial stress data from standard report "stress extended" for the load case operating & sustain.
Last time I follow UKOOA code there was needed to compare axial stress V/s hoop stress.
If you required Axial load may be you can multiply axial stress with area, or just creating a cnode at that particular point to find out axial laod.

May be you can follow global element force extended.
