PSC Design Forces
Check the design forces for each element under different load combinations in a spreadsheet format table.
Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions.
From the Main Menu select PSC > PSC Design Results > Design Forces
Upon executing the PSC Design > PSC Design Force, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click .jpg){kind=small}
after selecting the output entities such as elements, part number.
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and check the following data:

Elem: Element number
Part: Check location (I-End, J-End) of each element
LCom Name: Load Combination Name
Type: Displays the set of member forces corresponding to moving load case for which the maximum stresses are produced. If moving load is not defined then this field is left blank(-)
By default, member forces due to moving load case are not concurrent. In order to consider the concurrent member forces, namely, Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My and Mz each having its MAX. and MIN value, the program computes FT, FB, FTL, FBL, FTR, FBR for all these twelve sets.
For example: FT when Fx due to moving load is maximum is 30 N/mm2 and so on..

The set that results in maximum stress value FT, FB, FTL, FBL, FTR, FBR is displayed under 'Type' and the maximum stress value is displayed under FMAX. So as per above example, maximum stress value is 48, so it is displayed under FMAX, and it is from Fx-MIN set so under Type, Fx-MIN is displayed. All the values of this set will be displayed.
Fx: Design axial force for the element end,
Fy: Design Shear force for the element end in y direction.
Fz: Design Shear force for the element end in z direction.
Mx: Design torsional moment for the element end.
My: Design moment for the element end for bending about y axis.
Mz: Design moment for the element end for bending about z axis.
