Results
Choose what to show with Results for on the Results tab: a combination, the envelope of all combinations, a P-Δ run, or one load case (solved on demand, unfactored).
In the 3D view #
- Deformed shape with a scale slider (automatic scale × factor). Members are drawn as curves from the end displacements and rotations.
- Diagrams N, Vy, Vz, T, My, Mz along every member, with a scale slider; for the envelope the maximum and minimum are drawn.
- Reactions as arrows with values.
- Mode shapes (modal and buckling) with an animation player and a mode picker.
- Plate contours of the displacements.
- Utilization colours from the design: green up to the first band (0.90), amber up to 1.00, red above, grey not designed. The bands are in Design ▸ Setup and Settings.
- Server shaded view: shaded members with the chosen diagram, rendered by the engine.
Hovering a member shows its id, section and, with design results, its ratio.
Tables #
The bottom panel has result grids for displacements, reactions (with totals and the residual), member end forces, the envelope (max / min with the governing combination), modal participation and buckling factors, plus the Design table. Copy rows with Ctrl+C or download CSV.
Signs #
Member end forces are in member local axes: N (tension +), Vy, Vz, T, My, Mz. On a horizontal beam a sagging moment is a negative Mz (a positive Mz puts the +y, upper, fibre in tension). Reactions are the forces the supports exert on the structure; a gravity load gives a positive Fz. See Units and sign conventions.
