Results: Plot E(t)
The plot of the Youngs Modulus (E) variation for any defined elements can be viewed via this pad.
Input the appropriate values (Items described below)in the boxes and choose redraw to see the graph for the newly defined data.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Elnum | The variation for the defined element number will be shown |
| Max-time | Maximal time, for which the time dependent function will be calculated and represented |
| LoadTime T1-T5 | Presentation of E-Modulus for five different loading times can be represented. |
| Button << | Pressing the button, the presentation of E-Modulus curve for the FIRST element in the structure will be shown. |
| Button < | Pressing the button, the presentation of E-Modulus curve for one element BEFORE in the structure will be shown. |
| Button > | Pressing the button, the presentation of E-Modulus curve for one element AFTER in the structure will be shown. |
| Button >> | Pressing the button, the presentation of E-Modulus curve for the LAST element in the structure will be shown. |
| Redraw | Pressing the button, the redraw after changing the values above will be done. |
| Plot to file | The curve of the current element (Creep+Shrinkage and E(t)) will be plot to the free plot file name (i.e. pltf002.pl). |
| Set | Pressing the button, the table of variables will be opened, which are important for calculation of E-Modulus curve. The user can change the values and study the differences of the curve. |
| PlCrSh | Pressing the button, the graphic presentation of time dependent functions: Creep and Shrinkage will be shown. |
Note: If the curve does not exist, there are three possibilities:
- the assigned material has no definition of time dependent variables (CHECK : Properties/Material/Info and Structure/Tendon)
- the variables does not exist (CHECK : Properties/Variable). If they don't exist, import the files CEB78.rm or CEB90.rm,…
- the values of the internal variables are zero (CHECK : Properties/Variable/ icon SET). If they are zero, check the material values!
