Reports - Beam Design

Selecting the Reports > Beam Design - 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 Design Report will be generated for the selected beam.

Selecting the Reports > Beam Design - 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 Design Report will be generated for all beams within the fenced area.

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

These reports consist of two or more pages of output per beam, detailing span information, beam properties, top and bottom longitudinal reinforcement, transverse reinforcement, and Required and Provided moment capacity and reinforcement area at all output stations along the beam for both longitudinal and transverse bar design. These reports also contain a section on deflections that provides the camber (if required), along with the results of the deflection check for each deflection type on the beam.
