Wall framed by border elements

Hello, I have this wall framed by border elements that are supposed to work together; in robot I modeled it using a “wall” and 2 “columns”, it is part of a building that has several of them. Now I need to extract the total axial force (local panel Y direction) and the total bending moment around local panel Z direction (please see attached image), so I can locate this forces in the interaction diagram of the whole framed wall and see how its working for the several combinations. Could someone be so kind to explain me how to extract these forces?

You can use Panel Cuts:

Or you can use Redused Results for Panels (in table form):

Thanks for your answer, I really appreciate your help, just a couple of questions more:

 

What settings do I have to use in the "Detailed" tab of Panel Cuts? Which "Direction" and xx or yy? Although I see no change in the reduced values when I try different settings, so I guess it doesn't matter which settings I use, is that correct?

 

If I analyze each “column” separately I found that the sum of the forces of each column in global Z direction  its greater than the reduced force in the same direction in reduced forces of Panel Cut, it is not supposed to be the other way around?

The software allows reduction of all forces acting in the section toward one point that is the center of gravity of a section. Reduced forces are represented:
in the graphic viewer: in the global coordinate system
in the result table that displays after clicking Diagram analysis: in the global and local coordinate systems.

It depends on Direction settings for results presentation.

No, reduced forces will not be changed - see post above.

Thank you, I just realized that the “panel cut” function just cut the panel not the columns, and I need the forces from the columns to be reduced to the center of the panel as well, because those 2 “columns” and the panel works as one flexo-compression element. So I guess the only way to do that is manually right?

Yes, you are right.
If you want to see results for all columns or walls on each Story or for whole Story - look at Stories table
