Hello, I have a 3D RC-MRF structure, and I'm performing gravity analysis only - I wish to check the axial force within each column of the structure and export the data in an Excel spreadsheet, but I'm not sure where and how I could find the data.
In the analysis steps I put recorder on both nodal reactionForce and element force, while I found that the output of nodal force RFz is actually the reation at the support, not the axial load. In the chart data extraction wizard part of post-processor, if I choose element gauss points I cannot select anything in the next step.
I would be grateful if you could have some suggestions on this and help me out, thanks!
Output Axial Force for each column
Re: Output Axial Force for each column
In the extract chart data wizard, if you want to export beam forces at the gauss points, you first need to ask for section.force result in the MPCORecorder. Then, in the post processor, select gauss points in a gauss plot and extract data
