Reports - Beam Load Diagram

Selecting the Reports > Beam Load Diagram > Single command will change the cursor from an arrow cursor to a target cursor. Select the beam for which to generate output by clicking on a beam. A Beam Load Diagram Report will be generated for the selected beam.

Selecting the Reports > Beam Load Diagram > Fence command will change the cursor from an arrow cursor to a fence cursor. Select multiples beams for which to generate output by fencing an area of the model. A Beam Load Diagram Report will be generated for all beams within the fenced area.

Selecting the Reports > Beam Load Diagram > All command will generate a Beam Load Diagram Report for all beams in the model.

This report displays the loads that are tributary to the selected beam/s or that are assigned directly to the beam. This report displays the location of point loads due to members that frame into the selected beam/s, but no reaction values are displayed for these points (the loads will all be considered as part of the finite element analysis). The same loads can also be displayed on screen by invoking the View Gravity Loads command.
