Navigation:  Reviewing the Analysis Results > Shell Principal Forces & Moments

Click Analysis Results > Shell Forces, Moments & Stresses > Shell Principal Forces & Moments to see a table of shell principal forces and moments.  The Shell Principal Forces & Moments table appears.

 

 

Select the desired Load Combination.

 

Choose whether the table should display results for the selected entities or for all entities.

 

Specify the force and moment locations to be at the nodes and/or the center of each shell by clicking Settings and Tools > Data Options.

 

The table reports shears and moments for the desired shells.

 

The shell forces and moments include:

 

•Fmax: maximum normal force

•Fmin: minimum normal force

•F-Angle: angle at which extreme normal forces are achieved

•Mmax: maximum moment

•Mmin: minimum moment

•M-Angle: angle at which extreme moments are achieved

•Vmax: maximum shear force

•V-Angle: angle at which extreme shear forces are achieved

 

The table can be printed with the Print button.
