:: Construction Schedule .: Stage Actions : Static Calculation
Available actions for static structural analysis are:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Action > Calc | Calculate static load cases |
| Action > Stress | Calculate internal primary forces of tendons by stepwise applying the tensioning actions defined in a stress label. |
| Action > Grout | Grout ducts of internal tendons and establish composite cross-sections by adhesion (calculation options set in the .: Recalc - pad apply). |
| Action: TStop | This action is used to ‘freeze’ creep, shrinkage and relaxation for given elements. This may simplify modeling of structures with a number of similar independent stages, such as balanced cantilever bridges built from two ore more piers. |
| Action: Creep (static calculation) | Creep, Shrinkage and Relaxation calculation. Results are stored to a given (empty) load case. |
| Action: UpdEmod | Temporarily update the young’s modulus for all materials with an Emod(t) definition. An existing given load case is calculated with the modified young’s modulus and the differential results are written to the output load case. |
| Action: CabSag | Manual definition of virtual young's moduli (Ernst-Moduli E*) for individual cables to take non linearity due to sagging into account. Definition of multiplication factors. |
| Action > Infl | Calculate influence lines for given traffic lanes. |
| Action: LiveSet | Influence line evaluation for non-linear analysis. A load train position is calculated according to the influence line for the given structure point. The result is a load arrangement of the load train stored into a load set. |
| Action > LiveL | Influence line evaluation of a load train moving along a lane. The influence line has to be calculated from lane definitions with the action ++Infl before. |
| Action > TempVar | Process temperature points (collected by an attribute set) for non-linear temperature loading. A load set is created with this action that represents the temperature load (temperature loading according to AASHTO and BS) |
| Action > Buckle | Calculation of buckling eigenmodes and buckling factors for a reference load case. |
| Action: Failure | Increase the loadfactor in a given range until buckling of the structure occurs (full geometrically non-linear analysis ). |
| Action > ReloadLc/ReloadSup | Cracked concrete - Reload considering cracked tension zones. The internal forces of the given load case are redistributed in the cross sections planes for cracked tension zones. |
| Action > ReloadLc/ReloadSup | Cracked concrete - Reload considering cracked tension zones. The internal forces of the given superposition file are redistributed in the cross sections planes for cracked tension zones. |
| Action > OpenTcl | Open and run a TCL module from the TCL-Script library. |
| Action: RunTcl | Run an existing TCL-script file. |
| Action > Restart | Calculates the new constant load case factors for variable load cases from AddConstraints |
| Action > Store | Store the calculation for later restart at the label |
| Action > PushOver | Non-linear calculation action using a load-stepping procedure |
