Results > Load case > Displacements

Table of load case results: presentation of the (factorised) internal forces of  individual load cases. The active presentation factor is given in the header line.  (Modification of the factor is done in the Recalc menu (Factor force)).

SettingDescription
LC (Selection of load case) Name of loadcase, for which the result values will be shown
Selection of the object category
SettingDescription
Elem Presentation of deformations of structural elements
Node Presentation of deformations of nodes
Tendon Presentation of deformations of tendons (Selective field Tnd   for selecting the presented tendon).
Tend Only for category Tendon: No. of  the tendon profile for result presentation
ElemGrp (Selection of a object group) If the elements have been arranged in groups, the presentation can be restricted to the elements, nodes or tendons of a selected group.

Default (no group selected): Presentation of all element groups

Elem / Node (Selection of an object) Selection of a certain element or node for being presented in the visible part of the table
Global / Local
SettingDescription
Local Deformations in the local coordinate system (only elements and tendons)
  • Elements: standard transformation into the local element system
  • Tendons: strain instead of displacements! (components in element system)
Global Deformations in the global coordinate system
  • Nodes: Nodal displacements and rotations in the global system
  • Elements: Deformation of element ends in the global system
  • Tendon: Strains in longitudinal direction of the tendon are presented
Ndiv Pnt Option for presenting the values in any subdivision points in addition to the values at element ends
