Direct force method based on finite element for the calculation of the internal force of cross section has the advantages of high accuracy and stability. However, the method can only be applied to the sections with element boundary surface, which limits the application scope of the method. Given the advantages of direct force method based on finite element in calculating the internal force of cross section, a new approach for calculating internal force of cross sections in any location is proposed in this study. In this approach, the inverse isoparametric mapping and the direct force method based on finite element are combined together to solve the internal force of cross section at any location in a finite element model.
