Member Force Output

Using the Criteria - General command, the user can indicate the location along the member at which the member force output is to be displayed. If the Rigid End Zone criteria has been set to "Include Effects", the member force output must be displayed at the face of the joints. If the Rigid End Zone criteria has been set to "Ignore Effects", the user has the choice of displaying the output for either the face of the joints or for the centerline of the joints.

Changes can be made to these criteria without requiring the model to be re-analyzed.
