You can create axial force distribution plots using the Axial Force Distribution tool (). The plot displayed along the drawn line shows the distribution of axial (horizontal) force across the line. The values in the main 2D plot (if any) controlled by the Plot () dialog box have no effect on the axial force distribution plot. The integrated axial force value shown below the axial force distribution plot is the sum of the area of the plot. Design strips and design sections provide a more accurate calculation of this integrated value.
