QUESTION: How to see both Positive and Negative moment in a Pile Bent, Bending Moment Diagram?

ANSWER:

The reason the program does not show the Positive moment at the center of the beam is because

there is no Node assigned between 2 piles.

When the user assigns additional check points between 2 piles then the program will show both the

Positive and negative moments in the Bending Moment diagram for Self-weight condition.
