Beam end force drawings are general arrangement drawings that also contain support reactions. They are typically created to assist connection design in steel structures and can only be created in 2D views. To create beam end force drawings, do the following:

1. Open a 2D results view displaying the part of the model that you want to include in the drawing.

   The part can be, for example, a construction level, frame, or sloped plane.

2. On the Results tab; in the Result Type group, use the Method list to select the analysis type for which the results are to be included on the drawing.
3. In the Loading list, select the loadcase or combination that you want to display.
4. On the Draw tab, click Beam End Forces.

   The DXF Export Preferences dialog box opens.

5. Select the layer configuration and layer style for the drawing.
6. Set the drawing scale.
7. If necessary, to adjust the distance between independent lines of text, modify the minimum text block spacing.
8. Do one of the following:
   • Accept the automatic file name.
   • Clear the Use automatic file name option and name the file yourself.
9. Click OK.

   The drawing opens in an available DXF application.

   Note: If preferred this drawing variant can be created as a batch, (allowing multiple drawings to be created on a single drawing sheet).
