Result Options
Result Options are used to define the result components and their presentation parameters. Additionally the structural parts where the results have to be applied may be selected.
The dialogue can alternatively be accessed by the context menu by clicking with the right mouse button on the graphical ViewWindow and selecting Results Options.
The options are applied to the selected View Window after pressing OK.
A new diagram curve can be added by using the context menu (right-click) of the menu option "Diagram" or of an existing diagram curve item of this menu option, as well as by clicking the button "Add diagram curve". An existing diagram can be copied, renamed or removed by using the context menu (right-click) of it.
| Setting | Description | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deflected Structure | Select a result to be presented as deflected structure and set the scale. | |||||||
| Colored Faces | Select a result to be presented as colored faces and set the Shading. | |||||||
| Diagram | Select a result to be presented as diagram curve and set the scale (e.g. 1m = 500 kN). Other than in RM the diagram curve cannot be colored. | |||||||
| Add diagram curve | Adds a new diagram curve to the diagram. | |||||||
| Support Reactions |
Display reactions for support elements and support nodes for specific components such as: Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, Mz. Ability to select a scaling factor (default is auto) and the projection in Global and Local directions. |
|||||||
| Components and Scaling | Select the result components to be presented. See above for Scale. | |||||||
| Displacements | Select a displacements or rotation component | Total: Vector length of (Vx,Vy,Vz). | Vx: Displacement in x direction. | Vy: Displacement in y direction. | Vz: Displacement in z direction. | Rx: Rotation around x. | Ry: Rotation around y. | Rz: Rotation around z. |
| Beam Forces | Select an internal force | Nx: Normal force or spring force in x direction | Qy: Shear force or spring force in y direction | Qz: Shear force or spring force in z direction | Mx: Torsional moment or spring moment around x | My: bending moment or spring moment around y | Mz: bending moment or spring moment around z | |
| Beam Stresses | Select a stress or strain | Normal: Normal or longitudinal stress | Shear: Shear stress | Strain: Linear or nonlinear strain dependent on RM recalculation setting | ||||
| Global | Results related to the global system (Default for deformation). | |||||||
| Local | Results related to the local system (Default for internal forces). | |||||||
| Total | Total value of the result (Default). | |||||||
| Primary | Primary value of the result. | |||||||
| Secondary | Secondary value of the result. | |||||||
| Normal | Usual internal force at a beam or spring (Default). | |||||||
| Join | 'Joined' internal force at composite elements (accumulated from 'children'). | |||||||
| Split | 'Split' internal forces at children elements (child result is calculated from composite). | |||||||
| Join+Split (Reload) | Automatically uses Joined or Split results depending on the type of the element (composite or part). | |||||||
| Leading component | Select an envelope row MinVx, ...., MinMz, MaxVx, ..., MaxMz by choosing 'Max' or 'Min' + one result component (Vx, Vy, ...) | |||||||
| Show results for: | ||||||||
| Structure as in view options | Displays the results for the elements, nodes, cable elements or spring elements that were selected in the View options dialogue. | |||||||
| Selected assemblies | Displays the results for the selected assemblies. | |||||||
| Shading | Definition of the color range. |
