Envelope
This window contains properties of envelope of combinations or load cases. The envelope is the diagram of quantity (mainly internal forces), that shows the maximum and minimum values of certain quantity for all combinations (load cases) included in the envelope in any point of the structure.
Left part shows complete list of available combinations (load cases), that may be included in the envelope. The selection can be done with the help of check boxes in front of the combination numbers or with the help of buttons in the toolbar on the right side of the list. The toolbar contains following buttons:

Internal forces and Reactions
The frames "Internal forces" and "Reactions" contain the parameters for making the envelopes of internal forces and reactions. Only maximum, minimum or both extreme values may be shown in envelopes. The "Envelope key" defines, whether the envelope will be shown for all components (the option "All") or only for one component and other components will show only values in corresponding combination (or load case), where the maximum of key component appears.
