Check the internal member forces in the structure due to external loads, in a spreadsheet format table. The member forces are calculated using Initial Force Control Data.

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Initial Element Force.

Member Nodal Force - i

Member forces at the I-End of an element

Member Nodal Force - j

Member forces at the J-End of an element

Axial: Axial force

Shear(y): Shear force in the local y-direction of an element

Shear(z): Shear force in the local z-direction of an element

Torsion: Torsional moment about the local x-axis of an element

Moment(y): Bending moment about the local y-axis of an element

Moment(z): Bending moment about the local z-axis of an element
