STRAIN OUTPUT

(OP)
I am a stress engineer needing to interpret some Nastran output pertaining to quad elements, a small extract from which I have inserted below.

  ELEMENT      STRAIN
    ID.       CURVATURE          NORMAL-X   
0  206292    0.0               3.392523E-04
            -1.000000E+00     -1.983165E-05

What are 0.0 & -1.000000E+00 under "STRAIN CURVATURE"? Do they refer to the outer surfaces, or middle & one outer surface or what?

Thanks in anticipation.
