Working with member forces table options

The Member Forces Table Options dialog box controls the number of positions along members at which forces and deflections are reported in tabular data views and reports.

Set number of positions to be reported for a 1D Member Forces tabular data view

  1. On the Analyze tab, click Table Options.
  2. In the dialog, configure the number of positions as required.
    • Separate numbers of positions can be specified for beam and column members.
    • The minimum number of beam and column positions is 2, which will report at the two ends of the member only.
    • The maximum number of beam and column positions is 50.
    • In addition to reporting at fixed positions, points of interest can also be reported. These are locations where a maximum or minimum value of any major/minor force, or major/minor deflection occurs along the member. By default points of interest are automatically included, (but they can be excluded if required).
    • If a fixed position is close to a point of interest it can be skipped if required. How close it needs to be to be skipped is defined as a ratio of the span.
  3. Click OK.
The 1D Member Forces view is reconfigured to the number of positions specified.

  5. In the dialog, configure the number of positions as required.
    • Separate numbers of positions can be specified for beam and column members.
    • The minimum number of beam and column positions is 2, which will report at the two ends of the member only.
    • The maximum number of beam and column positions is 50.

These are locations where a maximum or minimum value of any major/minor force, or major/minor deflection occurs along the member. By default points of interest are automatically included, (but they can be excluded if required).
    • If a fixed position is close to a point of interest it can be skipped if required. How close it needs to be to be skipped is defined as a ratio of the span.
  6. Click OK.
When the report is generated the 1D Member Forces are reconfigured to the number of positions specified.
