To choose the components for envelopes

1. Click the Choose Envelope Components icon ( ) from the Edit toolbar or click Edit / Envelope Components...

2. The left hand list shows the Envelopes that S-Frame can create. As you click on one of these S-Frame automatically reconfigures the Components list to show those appropriate to this envelope. You can pick the component you wish to envelope, and when S-Frame creates the envelope it will be for this component, together with the coincident values for the other components.
3. Choose the Force Envelope Style that you prefer to use by clicking the appropriate button.
4. Click Ok to return to the Numerical Results window or Results page of the Print property sheet (depending on from where you accessed the Envelope Components dialog).
Note: These settings are maintained by S-Frame until you change them subsequently.
You generate the envelopes of displacements, reactions, member segmental forces, plate and shell forces by clicking the View Envelopes icon ( ) from the Edit toolbar or by Clicking View / Envelopes.
Note: With the exception of segmental forces, S-Frame shows the envelopes using the following format:

· Minima are shown on the subsequent row.
