Output parameters

Icon	Type	Name	Description
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Axial	Axial stress:
A = Fx/Area
+ve stresses: tensile
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Shear Y	Shear stresses:
Sy = Fy/Ay
where Ay and Az are the shear areas calculated in accordance with selected code. Note that torsional stresses are ignored.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Shear Z	Shear stresses:
Sz = Fz/Az
where Ay and Az are the shear areas calculated in accordance with selected code. Note that torsional stresses are ignored.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Bending Y +ve z	Bending stresses:
For sections that have Iyz=0:
By = Myy/Iyy x Dz
where Dz & Dy are the distances from the centroid to the edge of the section in the +ve z and y directions respectively.For sections that have non-zero Iyz: refer to the GSA manual.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Bending Y -ve z	Bending stresses:
For sections that have Iyz=0:
By = Myy/Iyy x Dz
where Dz & Dy are the distances from the centroid to the edge of the section in the +ve z and y directions respectively. For sections that have non-zero Iyz: refer to the GSA manual.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Bending Z +ve y	Bending stresses:
For sections that have Iyz=0:
Bz = -Mzz/Izz x Dy
where Dz & Dy are the distances from the centroid to the edge of the section in the +ve z and y directions respectively.	For sections that have non-zero Iyz: refer to the GSA manual.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Bending Z -ve y	Bending stresses:
For sections that have Iyz=0:
Bz = -Mzz/Izz x Dy
where Dz & Dy are the distances from the centroid to the edge of the section in the +ve z and y directions respectively. For sections that have non-zero Iyz: refer to the GSA manual.
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Combined C1	C1 is the maximum extreme fibre longitudinal stress due to axial forces and transverse bending C1 and C2 stresses are not calculated for cases with enveloping operators in them.
+ve stresses: tensile
	Unit Number Pressure Tree	Combined C2	C2 is the minimum extreme fibre longitudinal stress due to axial forces and transverse bending C1 and C2 stresses are not calculated for cases with enveloping operators in them.
+ve stresses: tensile
