5.42 Stress/Force output printing for Surface
Entities
Default locations for stress/force output, design, and design output
for surface elements are set as follows:
SUR
FACE DIVISION X xd
SUR
FACE DIVISION Y yd
where:
xd - number of divisions along X axis,
yd - number of divisions along Y axis.
xd and yd represent default numbers of divisions for each edge of
the surface where output is requested. The output is provided for
sections located between division segments. For example, if the
number of divisions = 2, then the output will be produced for only
one section (at the center of the edge).
Values of internal forces may be printed out for any user-defined
section of a wall modelled using the Surface element.
General Format:
PRINT SURFACE FORCE (ALONG ξ) (AT a)
(BETWEEN d1, d2) LIST s1, ...,si
where:
ξ - local axis of the surface element (X or Y),
a - distance along the ξ axis from start of the
member to the full cross-section of the wall,
