T.2 Producing an on-screen report
Occasionally, we will come across a need to obtain results conforming to certain restrictions, such as, say, the resultant node displacements for a few selected nodes, for a few selected load cases, sorted in the order from low to high, with the values reported in a tabular form. The facility which enables us to obtain such customized on-screen results is the Report menu on top of the screen.
Here, you will create a report that includes a table with the member major axis moment (MZ) values sorted in the order High to Low, for members 1 and 4 for all the load cases.
- Press and hold <Ctrl> and click both members 1 and 4 in the View window to select them.
-
On the
Results ribbon tab, select the
tool in the
Reports group.
- Specify the report contents:
- Select the Loading tab and ensure all the five load cases are added to the Selected list.
- (Optional) You can save this report for future use,
-
Click
OK.
The member end forces sorted table opens with the MZ values sorted from High to Low based on Absolute numbers.
- (Optional) To print this table, right-click anywhere within the table and select Print
