Example reports
Tekla Structural Designer provides a number of standard reports that are installed by default. Even though the standard reports may not match your exact requirements, they can often serve as templates that you can modify according to your needs.
Beam End Forces report
-
End 1/End 2:
6 forces are output in the support's local co-ordinate system for the selected loadcases, combinations, or envelopes. For each end of each beam span, a single row of data is output for loadcases, combinations, or envelopes in the selected loading filter (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz). Select this option if you intend to design the connections at both ends of each beam independently.
-
End 1/End 2 + Coincident:
For each end of each beam span, a separate row is output for each loadcase, combination, or envelope according to the applied loading filter for the maximum and the minimum of each of the 6 forces that are output. In addition, the report contains the coincident forces in the other directions.
Up to 12 rows of data can be output for a loadcase, combination, or envelope as follows:- maximum: Fx (+ coincident Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum: Fx (+ coincident Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum: Fy (+ coincident Fx, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum: Fy (+ coincident Fx, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum: Fz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum: Fz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum: Mx (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, My, Mz)
- minimum: Mx (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, My, Mz)
- maximum: My (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, Mz)
- minimum: My (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, Mz)
- maximum: Mz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My)
- minimum: Mz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My)
The loadcase, combination, or envelope names in which the maximum or minimum values occur are also reported.
-
Higher End Only:
For each beam span, two rows of data are output for the chosen loading filter: maximum (end 1, end 2): Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz; minimum (end 1, end 2): Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz. This configuration does not contain loadcase, combination, or envelope names because they could vary for each of the 6 values.
-
Higher End Only + Coincident (initial default option):
A separate row is output for the maximum and the minimum of each of the 6 forces, along with the coincident forces in the other directions. For each beam span, up to 12 rows of data can be output for the applied loading filter as follows:- maximum (end 1, end 2): Fx (+ coincident Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): Fx (+ coincident Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum (end 1, end 2): Fy (+ coincident Fx, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): Fy (+ coincident Fx, Fz, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum (end 1, end 2): Fz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Mx, My, Mz)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): Fz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Mx, My, Mz)
- maximum (end 1, end 2): Mx (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, My, Mz)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): Mx (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, My, Mz)
- maximum (end 1, end 2): My (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, Mz)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): My (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, Mz)
- maximum (end 1, end 2): Mz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My)
- minimum (end 1, end 2): Mz (+ coincident Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My)
The loadcase, combination, or envelope names in which the maximum or minimum values occur are also reported.

Embodied Carbon report
-
Embodied Carbon Overview by Level
The level reference, level, embodied carbon mass, floored area, and embodied carbon mass per floored area are output for each level.
Note: Level references are only included for those levels which have Reporting Level selected in Level Properties. -

Foundation Reactions report
-
Foundation Reactions (initial default option):
6 forces are output in the support's local co-ordinate system for the selected loadcases, combinations, or envelopes.
-
Foundation Reactions + Coincident
The maximum and minimum value of each of the 6 forces in the support's local co-ordinate system are output for the selected loading type. In addition, the report contains the coincident forces that exist in the other directions for the loading type in which the maximum or minimum value occurs.Note: The table for the Foundation Reactions + Coincident option never contains more than 12 rows, irrespective of the number of selected loadcases or combinations.
