Element 2D Forces and Moments

WARNING

GSA-Grasshopper plugin is pre-release and under active development, including further testing to be undertaken. It is provided "as-is" and you bear the risk of using it. Future versions may contain breaking changes. Any files, results, or other types of output information created using the plugin should not be relied upon without thorough and independent checking.

Input parameters

Icon	Type	Name	Description
	Result List	Result	Result
	List	Element filter list	Filter the Elements by list. (by default 'all') Element 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.
