Member end forces and moments in the member result
from loads applied to the structure. These forces are in the local member
coordinate system. The following figures show the member end actions with their
directions.
Note: In addition to the member end forces, intermediate forces and section stresses are reported
at 13 equally spaced sections along each analytical member.
