Frame story shears can be displayed after analysis is successfully completed. Note that the same information is also given in the Frame Story Shear report.

The Process-Results-Frame Story Shears command displays a list of analyzed load cases. Dead, Live, seismic, wind, user-defined lateral load cases and dynamic load case types can be shown in this dialog. Story shears for a selected load case are displayed with arrows at corresponding frame geometric centers.

When the command is invoked, analyzed load cases of the above type are listed and can be selected. The Show Magnitude option adds text next to the arrows to display the magnitude of the forces. Arrow size can also be scaled using the "Scale for Arrow" field. Calculated frame shears are in global X and Y directions and are included or excluded on screen as selected in the Components section. Select the Display option to display the forces and unselect it to clear the arrows from the screen; note that merely closing this diagram or invoking Reset Model button does not remove the arrows from the screen.
