Optimization of Table Output for Joint Design

For the connection design, I would like to display the resulting internal forces at the start and end nodes of the beam in a table. However, the beam consists of several members, which leads to a very confusing tabular display. How can I optimize it?

Answer:

In this case, it is advisable to create a member set from the individual members of a beam. Subsequently (after the calculation), it is possible to display the internal forces referring to the member sets in the result tables. The result filter function helps you to display the nodal results. The required internal forces are thus obtained for each start and end node of the member set. For documentation purposes, the table can also be exported to Excel and adjusted there, if necessary.
