Input parameters
 | Result List | Result | Result |
 | List | Element/Member filter List | Filter the Elements or Members by list. (by default 'all') Element/Member list should take the form: 1 11 to 20 step 2 P1 not (G1 to G6 step 3) P11 not (PA PB1 PS2 PM3 PA4 M1) Refer to help file for definition of lists and full vocabulary. |
 | Integer | Intermediate Points | Number of intermediate equidistant points (default 3) |
Output parameters
 | 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
PressureTree |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
PressureTree |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
PressureTree |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. |
