2022 SP1: Slab and Wall Panels - New & Enhanced Key Results Reporting

The aim of these enhancements is to present tabular views in which all the critical design force results information relating to a single panel (wall or slab) is gathered together and reported in one place. Note that all the tabular data result tables can be exported directly to Excel for further processing. Report result tables can also be exported to Excel.

  • [TSD-11161] - FE results by Node - parent panel information added

    The following changes are made to the existing "FE results by Node" tabular data and associated report:

    • The column pertaining to information of shells is removed.

    • Two new columns are added for member and panel reference.

    • Tabular data view can also be sorted by the new columns

    • Similar changes are made to the associated report item "FE results by Node".


  • [TSD-11162] - Result Strip Reporting - parent panel and result type information added

    The following changes are made to the existing "Result Strips Forces" report:

    • Information about the angle of the result strip and its result type (Average, Centerline or Maximum) are added in the reference column

    • A new column for panel reference is added - this includes both the parent slab reference and that of slab item(s) crossed by the cross section at the current location


  • [TSD-11260] - Wall Line Reporting - Parent panel information introduced

    The following changes are made to the existing "Wall Lines" tabular data results table and the associated report item;

    • The "Source" column is renamed to "Member Reference".

    • The Column "Wall line number" is replaced with "Stack" similar to columns in 1D tabular data.

    • Reports - the same changes are made to the associated report item.

      • In addition to these changes, in the Results View the title for the tooltip information box for Wall Line results is renamed from "Wall Line" to "Wall Panel".


  • [TSD-11453] - Wall Line Results - Double click highlights associated panel

    Wall lines have results at several positions over the height of a wall. Double clicking on a row in the Wall Line results table now automatically highlights the associated panel in the Structure View.


  • [TSD-11262] - FE Slab Results by Panel

    A completely new and comprehensive tabular report "FE Slab results by Panel '' is added in the drop-down tabular data in the analysis ribbon.


  • The new "FE Slab results by Panel '' report gives the following results for each panel:

    • Max results: maximum positive value of the actions

    • Min results: absolute maximum negative value of the actions

  • Results are reported for the following entities: Panels (Nodal values), Result Strips (including those automatically added by slab patches) & Result Lines.

    • Note on Sign Convention: In the FE results by node table the membrane results Fx and Fy are reported in the traditional analysis convention where tension is positive. In this new table this is changed to the convention traditionally used in design codes/standards where compression is positive.

  • Filtering - you can filter the results table based on any of the following:

    • Slab

    • Level

    • Saved report filter - note that applicable report filters can be created for Selected Sub structures, which could be used to create filters of specific slab items for the table as illustrated in the picture at the beginning of this section and below.


  • Report - A report item for this new table “FE Slab Results by Panel” (and the new “FE Wall Results by Panel” table described below) is also added in "Chapters & Options" > "Analysis". As shown in the picture below, this report can be filtered based on any of the following; Model (selected levels, planes and substructure), Loading (load case, combination), Analysis Method.


  • [TSD-11313] - FE Wall Results by Panel

    A completely new tabular report "FE Wall results by Panel '' is added in the drop-down tabular data in the analysis ribbon.


  • The new report gives the following results for each panel:

    • Max results: maximum positive value of the actions

    • Min results: absolute maximum negative value of the actions

  • Results are reported for the following entities: Panel (Nodal values), Wall Lines & Result lines

    • Note on Sign Convention: In the FE results by node table the membrane results Fx and Fy are reported in the traditional analysis convention where tension is positive. In the new FE Wall Results by Panel the reported axial force is swapped to the convention traditionally used in design codes/standards where compression is positive

  • Filtering - you can filter the results table based on any of:

    • Selected Walls

    • Saved report filter

  • Report - A report item for this new table is also added in "Chapters & Options" > "Analysis". The report can be filtered based on any of the following: Model (selected levels, planes and substructure), Loading (load case, combination), Analysis Method.
