Type of Member
Select member types for which Member Diagram will be produced.
Beam: Beam elements other than columns
Column: Beam elements parallel with the Global Z-axis
Brace: Diagonal members (truss elements)
Wall: Wall elements
Note
MG1: Beam left end moment
MG2: Beam right end moment
MG3: Beam center moment
QG1: Beam left end shear
QG2: Beam right end shear
MC1: Column bottom moment
MC2: Column top moment
NC: Column axial force
QC: Column shear force
NW: Wall axial force
MW: Wall bending moment
QW: Wall shear force
NV: Diagonal axial force
Note
Type of Display
Member: Display forces for every member.
Note When several beam elements are assigned as a Member using Design > General Design Parameter > Member Assignment, the member forces are displayed at End-i, Center and End-j of the Member.
Element: Display forces for every element.
Value
Axial: Check on to display axial forces and assign font colors.
Shear: Check on to display shear forces and assign font colors.
Moment: Check on to display moments and assign font colors.
Decimal Pt.: Assign decimal points for the displayed numbers
Exp: Express as exponentials

No Fill: Display only the outline representing the magnitudes of the member forces.
Line Fill: Display the diagram filled in with color lines.
Solid Fill: Display the diagram filled in with color surfaces.
Scale: Drawing scale for member forces.
Batch Output Generation ( , )
Given the types of analysis results for Graphic outputs, generate consecutively graphic outputs for selected load cases and combinations.
