Tip: This table only reports results for the controlling load combination for each moment location and direction. *The Load Combination selector is provided in this table only as a convenience to help the user relate the load combination number to the actual load combination itself.*
{% endhint %}

Choose whether the table should display results for the selected entities or for all entities.

Tip: Specify the force and moment locations to be at the nodes and/or the center of each shell by clicking Settings > Data Options.
{% endhint %}

The table reports top and bottom moments for the desired shells.

**Bot Mux:** Wood-Armer design moment on the x edge of the plate (about the local y axis) for sizing bottom rebar parallel to the plate local x axis.

**Bot Muy:** Wood-Armer design moment on the y edge of the plate (about the local x axis) for sizing bottom rebar parallel to the plate local y axis.

**Top Mux:** Wood-Armer design moment on the x edge of the plate (about the local y axis) for sizing top rebar parallel to the plate local x axis.

**Top Muy:** Wood-Armer design moment on the y edge of the plate (about the local x axis) for sizing top rebar parallel to the plate local y axis.

**Bot Mux Comb:** The load combination responsible for producing Bot Mux.

**Bot Muy Comb:** The load combination responsible for producing Bot Muy.

**Top Mux Comb:** The load combination responsible for producing Top Mux.

**Top Muy Comb:** The load combination responsible for producing Top Muy.

## 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/design/concrete-design/design-output/wood-armer-moments.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.
