ASCII Output File for Beam Resultant

Greetings!

I have a question about the ASCII output file of Creo Simulate version 3.0

I want to extract the axial and shear forces of my bolts from my model, which are modeled as beam elements. I know that I could extract the forces by selecting fringe -> beam resultant or Graph-> Shear and Moment in the Result Window Definition, but by doing so I could only select the beam element 1 by 1. The project that I'm doing right now have like 20++ bolts per model and there are different types of bolts used for the model, so it's really time consuming and inefficient to check the beam element 1 by 1 to find the critical forces for each type of bolt.

The question is, is there any way to extract the axial and shear forces from all of the beam elements as a table? (just like the table from ASCII) If there is one, could someone please explain me how to do it?

 

Thank you in advance Smiley Happy

not for beams, but for bolts possible:
