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.

Description
Element1D Force and Moment result values
Note: This is a dropdown component and input/output may vary depending on the selected dropdown
Input parameters
 | 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. |
 | Integer | Intermediate Points | Number of intermediate equidistant points (default 3) |
Output parameters
 | Unit Number Force Tree | Force X | * Element Axial Forces in Local Element X-direction. +ve axial forces are tensile |
| Unit Number Force Tree | Force Y | * Element Shear Forces in Local Element Y-direction. +ve axial forces are tensile |
| Unit Number Force Tree | Force Z | * Element Shear Forces in Local Element Z-direction. +ve axial forces are tensile |
| Unit Number Force Tree | Force |XYZ| | * Total |YZ| Element Shear Forces. |
| Unit Number Moment Tree | Moment XX | * Element Torsional Moments around Local Element X-axis. Moments follow the right hand grip rule |
| Unit Number Moment Tree | Moment YY | * Element Bending Moments around Local Element Y-axis. Moments follow the right hand grip rule |
| Unit Number Moment Tree | Moment ZZ | * Element Bending Moments around Local Element Z-axis. Moments follow the right hand grip rule |
| Unit Number Moment Tree | Moment |YYZZ| | * Total |YYZZ| Element Bending Moments. |
* DataTree organised as { CaseID ; Permutation ; ElementID } fx. {1;2;3} is Case 1, Permutation 2, Element 3, where each branch contains a list of results per element position.
