# Query Function

How to use the Query tool to click nodes, members, or shells and view their geometry, loading, and analysis results.

One powerful way to review analysis results on a member by member basis is the Query function, which is available from **View > Query**.

This tool has the special "Query" cursor associated with it. When the Query cursor is displayed, clicking on any node, member or shell opens the Nodal Info, Member Info or Shell Info dialog that offers a great deal of info about the clicked node, member or shell. The info includes geometric, material and loading data. After a successful analysis the dialog also includes analysis results such as forces, moments, deflections, and rotations.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-training-manual/analysis/reviewing-the-analysis-results/query-function.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
