To gather the related axial forces (specifically for the Strength Limit State), 1.Analyze the global model. Then, on the FEA tab, go to Composite Element Forces (Sectional).
 Navigate to the relevant stage for which you are interested in the results. The results can be viewed for the Construction Stages,
 ...or for Combination Cases, including LL cases, Composite/Non-composite cases, or for Limit States (max/min).   After specifying the case for viewing the reuslts results, the result results can be filetered filtered to see onlt bootom only the bottom flange results. For further clarification, refer to the video attached below. Results.mp4After specifying the case, the results at the position (station) where the access hole will be created can be obtained and applied to the access hole plate object.
