Wall Panels - Results

When the model is solved there are results spreadsheets . The Wall Panel Design spreadsheets are divided into different tabs: In plane, Lintel, Wood Wall Axial, Wood Wall In-Plane, Wood Header and Wall Panel Seismic. Each tab gives code checks based on the relevant code depending on the material type. These spreadsheets can be used as a summary of all of the panels in your model. To get detailed information about each panel, you can use the Wall Panel Detail Reports.

Wall Force Results

The Wall Force Results spreadsheet lists the axial force, shear and moments for each wall panel. The elevations where forces are reported are at the base of walls and at the locations of any diaphragms that intersect the walls. The elevation is given in terms of global elevation.

The Wall Label column displays the wall panel label.

The LC column reports the relevant Load Combination.

The Elevation column reports the elevation (in Global Coordinates) at which the forces are reported.

The Axial value reports the axial force in the wall. Compression force is reported as positive, Tension force as negative.

The x-Shear value is the shear force in the local x direction for the wall. This is the shear wall / strong direction of the wall.

The z-z Moment value is the moment about the local z axis for the wall. This is the shear wall / strong direction of the wall.

General Wall Detail Report

The general wall detail report shows the material type, height, length, and envelope forces for general walls.

Note

The Wall Panel Results Spreadsheet displays the calculated results for wall elements and may be accessed by selecting Wall Panel Design from the Results menu . The spreadsheet has fivetabs: Concrete In, Concrete Out, Masonry InMasonry Lintel, Wood Wall Axial, Wood Wall In-Plane, Wood Header and Wall Panel Seismic.

The first tab as well as the last tab gives results of Concrete Wall analysis. For more information on these tabs see Concrete Wall Results and Concrete Wall - Seismic Results.

The next two tabs are results of Masonry Wall analysis. For more information on these tabs see Masonry Wall Results.

The next three tabs are results of Wood Wall analysis. For more information on these tabs see Wood Wall Results.
