I have a large model with several hundred members which have been assigned steel sections. I am doing a code check and I want to find out which of those members have failed. Can I get a list of just those members without having to scroll through hundreds of pages of steel design output?

There are 2 methods for finding just those members which have failed the steel design checks.

  1. From the Select menu, choose By Specification - All Failed beams. The members which fail the check will be highlighted. You can then isolate them into a New View to examine them in greater detail. Double click on those members or use Tools - Query - Member to access a dialog box with tabs called Steel Design and Design Property to see the cause of the failure along with allowable and actual stresses and critical conditions.
  2. In the Post processing mode, go to the Beam page along the left side of the screen. One of the sub-pages will be Unity Check. A table will appear along the right side of the screen. One of the tabs of that table is Failed Members. Select this tab, and click on each row of the table to look at each such member individually.
