Reports

The reports menu has printable versions of the section cut information. For a printable version of the section cut forces:

  • Select Reports > Wall Section Forces > Single.
  • Select a single section cut to generate a printable report.
  • Close the report when finished.

Another useful report is the Envelope report. This report includes the maximum and minimum forces on each section cut similar to the force envelope reports in the analysis mode of RAM Frame. It is more useful to generate this report while working with load combinations. To get such a report:

  • Select File > Exit to exit the Shear Wall Module and return to the primary RAM Frame window.
  • Select Mode > Analysis > Load Combinations to switch into that mode.
  • Select Process > Results > Wall Analysis Results to reopen the Shear Wall Module now in Load Combinations mode.
  • Select View > Elevation and reselect the west shear wall.
  • Select Reports > Envelope > Single.
  • Select one of the section cuts previously defined.
  • Close the report when finished.
  • Select File > Exit to close the module and return to RAM Frame.
