Inter-story shear and cumulative story shear

The Inter-story Shear (also known as Floor Forces) table displays the sum of the lateral forces applied at each level in the structure.

Cumulative story shears are calculated by summing the floor forces from the top to the bottom of the structure, consequently they should get bigger as you move down.
