Story Shear for Wind and Seismic Loads:

At present, only storey drift & displacements are reported. There is a need to include storey shear values for both the X and Z directions to support comprehensive analysis.- There is an enhancement request already in place for this. For Eurocodes this is not available.

    Thank you for posting this idea. I believe you are suggesting that when a response spectrum has been defined and storeys are indicated using the FLOOR DIAPHRAGM, then by adding an additional command such as PRINT STOEY SHEAR, the total applied shear force applied at that level form all model shapes is reported in each of the two lateral directions. When considering non dynamic cases including wind and static seismic cases, then the total lateral shear is reported for that case. Hence if you only want this reported for a limited number of load cases, then this would be filtered based on the current LOAD LIST definition. Does that perhaps better summarise your idea? If not please can you explain further.
