STAAD Pro Member End Forces Guide

Member end forces result from loads applied to a structure. They act in the local member coordinate system and include forces and moments. Bending about the Y and Z axes creates stress zones with the top in tension and bottom in compression or vice versa. More details on member end forces can be found in section 5.41.
