I think this might be a faster method for making the plots. Use NDSolve to
create an InterpolatingFunction for the plotted function.

f[x_, n_:2, betaN_:121.643] := Sech[betaN*x^n]^2;

Clear[F];
F[x_] = F[x] /. NDSolve[{Derivative[1][F][x] == f[x],
      F[-0.4] == 0}, F, {x, -0.4, 0.4}][[1,1]]
InterpolatingFunction[{{-0.4, 0.4}}, "<>"][x]

Plot[F[x],
    {x, -0.4, 0.4},
    PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, 0, 0]];
