OpenBuildings™ Station Designer Help

Building Element Info - Analysis Data

Used to view and edit analysis data originating in analysis programs that is imported into OpenBuildings Station Designer and applied to structural members. Data is arranged to display shear and moment forces for the two ends of a member, and to display camber and shear studs values. Units for the forces and camber are also displayed.



SettingDescription

  • Vx — Displays End 1 shear force in the X direction.
  • Vy — Displays End 1 shear force in the Y direction.
  • Vz — Displays End 1 shear force in the Z direction.
  • Mx — Displays End 1 moment force in the X direction.
  • My — Displays End 1 moment force in the Y direction.
  • Mz — Displays End 1 moment force in the Z direction.
End 2 Forces
