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

Selecting the Reports > Beam Line Force Envelope > Fence command will change the cursor from an arrow cursor to a fence cursor. Select multiple beam lines for which to generate output by fencing an area of the model. A Beam Line Force Envelope Report will be generated for all beams in the beam lines within the fenced area.

Selecting the Reports > Beam Line Force Envelope > All command will generate a Beam Line Force Envelope Report for all beam lines in the model.

This report shows the dead load and roof load forces diagrams for the selected beams in the beam line. It also shows the live load force envelope for all live load cases for the selected beams. The envelope is the largest and smallest force at each station due to all the live load cases, considering the members live load reduction factors for the various live load types (live load reducible, storage and unreducible). For design purposes these force diagrams and envelopes are combined with lateral forces (where appropriate), for each load combinations, in the RAM Concrete Beam.
