27. In the Select Output dialog box click on the EQX Load Case to highlight it and then hold
down Ctrl key and click on the EQY Load Case to highlight it. Click the OK button to
accept this selection.
28. Right click any frame or shell element to get a table of forces for that element.
Note: You can also right click a joint to get a table of joint displacements.
Note: You can also print frame and shell element forces from the graphic interface
without having to first view them in a table. With this method you can control the
elements for which the output is provided (printed). After the analysis has been run,
select all of the frame and/or shell elements for which you want force output. (Note
that if you don’t select any elements, then this feature will give you output for all
elements.) Then select Print Output Tables… from the File menu. Fill in the
resulting Print Output Tables dialog box, remembering to select the load cases for
which you want output, and click the OK button. Note that with the Print Output
Tables feature you have the option of printing to the printer or to a file. If you print
to a file, an ASCII file is created which you can review in a text editor or word
processor.
This completes the review of forces and stresses.
