Show absolute maximum bending moment for group of beams in STAAD

Show absolute maximum bending moment for group of beams in STAAD

(OP)
I have a section of bridge that i have laid out in STAAD, I have made 2 separate moving vehicle loads on it I would like to find the absolute largest moment in the beams of the bridge. From my understanding the envelope should show the maximum for each beam but it is only showing the maximum end moments. How do I get staad to show a list of the absolute maximum moment for each beam?

Thanks
Nate

RE: Show absolute maximum bending moment for group of beams in STAAD

(OP)
Found the solution to my own problem. The best way to see the maximum moment for each beam is to go to the graphs tab under beams in post processing and then select envelope on the load case pull down and then select the beam / beams you are interested in. I have attached a picture of this.

Thanks
Nate
