The Resultant Force and Moment (RF&M) utility extracts grid point force data for user defined cross-sections created via the Cross-section Manager.

The Resultant Force and Moment utility generates input data for shear and moment (VMT) diagrams and/or to perform load-case screening with Potato plots in HyperGraph.  Two utilities available within HyperGraph are available for these purposes.

Results can be output to load collectors for graphical review, a text summary table, and/or a formatted .csv file which can be loaded into traditional spreadsheet software packages.
