This report gives you the ability to see a detailed report showing all the forces,
stresses and deflections for any individual member. You can expand any of these
diagrams for closer inspection by clicking on them.
Click on the local y-axis deflection diagram, the top diagram in the middle.
You should now be looking at the deflection diagram for member M1. You may
click the Abs Max button to retrieve the absolute maximum value and it’s
location. The slider control to the right of the Abs Max button allows you to
retrieve values at approximately 100 section locations.
The buttons across the top allow you to close the diagram, move to the same
diagram for the previous member or the next member, or print the diagram. You
may also access diagrams for other values without going back to the model view
or the detail report so let’s try this next.
Click the down arrow in the drop-down list box that now contains “y
Deflection”. Select “z-z Moment” to get this diagram:
Feel free to try any of the options or view another diagram from the list. When
you are finished click Close and you will be returned to the member detail report.
