Hi, Dear All,
I tried to model an I-girder with plate element as web and beam element as flanges.
I wonder if there is a tool in STAAD Pro to show the resultant forces (axial force/moment/shear) cross a section. If not, could you please advise a good method to calculate the resultant forces.
The model is attached.
Thanks,
Dong

I think in this case using user table option or section wizard will be more helpful. Please refer the below links to know the details of it.

Using any of these methods, you can model the beam and get the required forces/moments easily.
