Question

How can I get the member end forces to design the connections?


Answer:
After running a calculation, you can view the member internal forces under Table 4.6 Members - Internal Forces. The tools at the top of the table include a filter function. Under the detail setting for the filter, you can turn on/off the internal force values for the start of members, internal points, or end of members. For connection design, the start of members and end of members will be most of interest. This information can additionally be exported to Microsoft Excel with the direct link in the table options.

For additional information on the filter options, refer to the RFEM Online Manual 11.5.5 Filter Functions.
