Results

Allows you to view enveloped analysis results.

The tool displays enveloped (max and min values only) analysis results in the selected spreadsheets.

Allows you to view analysis results on a per-load combination basis.

The tool displays results corresponding to each load combination solved in the analysis. This is useful when investigating the results for a specific load combination.

Allows you to view dynamic analysis results.

The tool displays the natural frequencies or mode shapes, after performing a dynamic analysis.

Allows you to sort the spreadsheet results of a batch solution by load combination.

Results are listed in chronological order, based on load combination. For example, all the member forces under Load Combination 1 are listed first. The forces under Load Combination 2 are listed next.

Allows you to sort the spreadsheet results of a batch solution by item.

For example, you can group results from each load combination under a particular member.

Allows you to filter selected elements from the spreadsheet results.

Choose to filter out the results for selected or unselected elements from the results spreadsheets. This is useful when you would like to focus on the results for a specific portion of the model.

Force Summation

Allows you to sum the internal forces across selected elements.

Select two points to define a cutting plane and then select a third point to locate the plane. The internal force summation tool then sums the forces of every selected element that it cuts though and reports the totals.

Allows you to sun internal plate forces between two points within a wall.

Select two points in a wall panel to sum the internal forces between the two points. This tool is useful for investigating forces within specific regions in a wall panel. This can also be done across multiple walls that are in the same plane.

Allows you to sum internal plate forces between two points within a slab.

Select two points in a wall panel to sum the internal forces between the two points. This tool is useful for investigating forces within specific regions in a wall panel. This can also be done across multiple walls that are in the same plane.

Time History

Allows you to view Time History results at a specific node location.

Select a node to view displacement, velocity, acceleration or reaction results over time for the specified node. You can choose to display results for the global X, Y and Z direction as well as rotational directions RX, RY and RZ.

See Time History for more information.

Allows you to export a series of Time History traces to a text file.

Export a series of time history traces for all selected nodes to an ASCII text file.

See Time History for more information.

Contour

Allows you to display a diagram for stresses and/or forces along a defined cut in Plates or Walls.

Select two points in a wall panel or mesh of plates to display a diagram representation of color contours for stresses and/or forces along a defined cut in those plates or walls.

Allows you to display an enlarged image of the Contour Diagram.

Use this tool to view a graphical report that shows the plate/wall contours as diagrams and numerical data for every section along the length of the diagram.

Formatting

Allows you to delete all solution results.

The tool clears all solution results to make changes in the model or solve another solution.

Opens the Warning Log spreadsheet, which provides you with a record of any warnings or errors that occurred during the solution of your model.

See the Warning Log topic for more information.

Allows you to solve again using suggested shapes.

Resolve the model using suggested shares based on design criteria for a more optimal design.
