Force diagram for Area objects

(OP)
Does anybody know whether it is possible to output force diagram such as bending moment diagram for area elements? I just knew SAP can output the contour. If I want to see some bending moment diagram along some sections, is there any easier way to do?

Heaps Thanks.
