How to get inside the ABAQUS incremental/nonlinear static solver

Hi guys,
I'm working on an ABAQUS extension/plug-in of a sort and I'd like to replicate results for a single 4-node plane stress element produced by the ABAQUS incremental/nonlinear static solver.
I assumed the relationship is:
t[K] {Δx} = t+Δt {P} - t{F}
This is how I went to obtain these values:
t [K] - element stiffness - by using *ELEMENT MATRIX OUTPUT
How to analyze a "RepRap" design (static and vibrational)?
Folks,
I'm embarking on a project to build a modified copy of a DIY 3D printer. See http://reprap.org/wiki/WebHome to get a rough idea. In my case, I have my own lathe and milling machine, so I can fabricate more substantial components, e.g., by machining aluminum. I also have larger stepper motors, some 3/8" precision rod and linear bearings that I can use.
