Action Effects Diagrams

The internal forces (axial and shear) and moments (flexure and torsion) diagrams are provided in the 3D plot view. By default the diagrams for horizontal and vertical elements are shown in the same plot. If users wish to obtain the diagrams separately (for horizontal or vertical elements only), they have to select the appropriate check-box. The possibility of scaling the diagrams and the thickness of the lines is also available. Users may customize the diagrams, through the 'infrm' or 'elfrm' tab in the 3D Plot Options menu (i.e. main line and secondary line colours, number of sec. lines and number of values).
