Output Axial Force for each column
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2026 1:04 pm
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!
