Does anybody know whether it is possible to output force diagram such as bending moment diagram for area elements? I just knew SAP can output the contour. If I want to see some bending moment diagram along some sections, is there any easier way to do?

Heaps Thanks.

yes.
all i know is that you have to mesh the area first, and then make only the selection section on the view.

Jason, in addition to the contours, you can define or draw section cuts which integrate the stresses in order to report shears and moment
