I want to print out a picture which consists of a structure I have modeled with the STAAD. I want the output forces labeled right on each member. This is very similar to what would be put on to a plan sheet. Can STAAD do this or must I print out a report to get these forces?

First, you have to ask STAAD to Annotate the drawing with the axial forces. For this, please go to the Postprocessing workflow after you have analyzed the structure.

Click on the "Beam Results" page on the top of the model.

Click on the FX icon in the Results menu.

Go to the "Results" > "Annotate"."

Click on the "Beam Results" tab and then check the box under the "Axial" heading labeled "Ends."

Click "Annotate" and then "Close."

The axial loading values should be displayed on your screen.
