Reports - Member Force Envelope

The Reports - Member Force Envelope command generates a report listing the maximum and minimum member forces for an individual member for the currently selected load cases (Analysis-Load Case Mode) or Load Combinations. Member information and the analysis criteria are also listed. The member forces are listed at each end and at points of maximum and minimum force along the length of the member. The controlling load case/load combination and location are also indicated.

A sample output along with a detailed explanation of this report is available in the RAM Frame manual.

There are five choices for printing this report:

  • Single - prints one Member Force Envelope report at a time.
  • Fence - prints Member Force Envelope reports for all members included in a fenced area.
  • Frame - prints Member Force Envelope reports for all members of a frame specified by its frame numbers.
  • Current View - prints Member Force Envelope reports for all members currently vissible on the screen.
  • All - prints Member Force Envelope reports for all members in the model.
