Improve beam/node selection for reporting loads

Add some kind of functionality to categorize "connection types" to simplify reporting of loads. While there is functionality to group members and to group nodes, there is no way to overlap them. When I want the connection loads for certain members, I use a member group but the loads are given for both ends of the beam. When I only want one end of the beam, I have to use Excel to further filter the list down to the specific beam+node that I am interested in. It would be nice if you could group "connections" or beam+nodes in STAAD so you don't have to do any further filtering of the results.

    Thank you for posting this idea. Do you really mean loads, i.e. the applied loading or do you mean forces resulting from the analysis? I suspect the latter. What might be helpful in describing this idea, is some form of mock up. Would the request be the forces for a given member and from that member pick start/end and get a table of the end forces for all load cases/combinations? or are you looking for the function to also filter the load cases too? Or are you thinking that the request would pick a list of members and from that get the results from the start or end only? All the above can be created relatively simply as an OpenSTAAD macro.
