You should not be using the exact coordinates in the Floor ranges. Instead, a minimum range should be slightly lower than the actual coordinate is and the maximum range should be a bit larger than the actual coordinate is. I.e. I.e. if your X coordinates…

The "2" that the support reaction moment is divided by is not indicative of halving the support reaction. 2 feet is the distance between adjacent support nodes, So, the assumption is that for the interior supports, the zone of influence is 1 foot on either…

The local coordinate system for solid elements is identical to the global coordinate system. So Sxx is normal stress in the Global X direction. The negative value would mean compressive stress and positive would mean tensile.
