Obtain the shear moment and axial stresses from SHELL-type finite elements of concrete walls.

As users of the RAM software and a company in the structural engineering sector, we would like to inform you that, to complement the service provided, we believe it is relevant to incorporate the following aspect into the results analysis.

For the verification of shell-type elements (concrete walls), it is necessary to obtain the load demands on each wall with its moment, axial, and shear diagrams. Currently, when modeling the wall in RAM as a plate element, it is only possible to obtain the stresses in each finite element (faces and planes) into which the plate is subdivided, and not a global load that shows the diagrams along the entire height of the wall.
In other words, it is necessary that the stresses in the wall (plate in the model) and in each finite element be unified and displayed as the stress diagram of a frame-type element with the width, height, and length of the wall under study.

Furthermore, to facilitate the extraction of results, it should be possible to group the finite elements or plate divisions into groups (e.g., wall 1, wall axis A, etc.), where each group represents a wall for the analysis, that is, the stresses of the plates and finite elements of group X will be unified and deliver the moment and shear diagram of wall X.
