Multiplier
A factor multiplied to current loads
Bearing load
Load acting on bearing points
Cap load
Load acting on centerline of a cap
Arm
Distance between centerline of cap and point of load
Column load
Load acting on column
Dir
Direction of column load, either in global X, Y, or Z direction
Mag 1
Magnitude of column load at starting point
y1/L
Location of column load at starting point, in terms of column length, measured from the fixity point of a column (i.e., bottom of the column)
Mag 2
