MasterFrame has powerful reporting tools for viewing & printing the numerical results. These are the Member Forces, Member & Nodal Deflections and Support Reactions.
From Results menu select Tabular Analysis Results.
Note: If required, the Analyse dialogue will be displayed for you to Analyse the frame.
Below the results table are four option panels to allow you to select the results to display.
Viewing
Here you select the Results Table you wish to view.

Support Reactions also gives you the total reactions in each direction for the whole frame. This is a good check on your applied loads.
Member Forces gives you the Axial, Shear, Bending & Torsion at each end of the member, together with the Maximum in-span Moment and Deflection. Theses in-span values are at the maximum point and not (necessarily) the mid-point.
Note: Member Deflection is the in-span deflection, relative to the displaced nodes. This means a tenth floor beam member deflection is approximately the same as the first floor beam, if they have the same span, section & loading. The member below has an in-span deflection of only 6.52 mm (14.42 – (8.22+7.59)/2 = 6.52 mm).
This is the value you would use to check the beam against L/360 deflection limits.

For further information on the nodal and member and in-span deflections see this technical note.
Timber Deflections in EuroCode - see the following technical note on timber deflections to EN 1995-1-1:2004 + A1-2008. This relates to the final deflection of a timber beam designed with loading cases according to EN 1990.
The List Per panel allows you to list per Loading Case (the norm) or list per Node/Member

The Node/Member option is great for viewing all the loading cases per node or member.

Filtering
This panel allows you to select the loading case to view. If you are using List per Node/Member, then here you can select all the cases you wish to see.

The defaults are:-
Nodal deflections – Service Cases
Support Reactions – Service Cases
Member Forces – Ultimate Cases
