Reports - Model Data

The Reports - Model Data command generates a report of the building geometry and material properties of all lateral frame members.

If any members in the structure have been modeled in a material other than steel, this report will include a description of the section properties defined for each member type for the materials used.

The report also lists every lateral frame member on each level with its coordinates and material properties.

Gravity Wall and Gravity Column Spring Properties : This section gives information related to vertical springs placed at gravity column and wall locations. For each spring, the program tabulates the following information: Node number (at spring location), spring stiffness values.

Semirigid Diaphragm Properties : This section is only included in the report if "Include semirigid diaphragm nodes results "option is checked in Reports menu command. For each finite element generated during meshing semirigid diaphragms, the report tabulates the following information: Node connectivity information, Poisson's ratio, thickness (both membrane and bending) and modulus of elasticity (E).

SUGGESTION: Do a Print Screen of your model in 3-D mode with the member numbers displayed on it. The print out of the model and the model data can then be easily cross referenced by member number.
