Options - LC/Envelopes

In this window it has to be specified for which internal force, displacement or rotation for a certain Load Case(s) and/or Envelope(s) the diagram, table and/or list should be created.

Different Result components can be choses:

Deformations
- v_x – displacement in X direction
- v_y – displacement in Y direction
- v_z – displacement in Z direction
- r_x – rotation around X Axis
- r_y – rotation around Y Axis
- r_z – rotation around Z Axis
Internal forces and moments
- Nx – normal force (force in X direction)
- Qy – shear force in Y direction
- Qz – shear force in Z direction
- Mx – torsion moment (moment around X Axis)
- My – lateral bending moment (moment around Y Axis)
- Mz – bending moment around Z Axis (main bending moment)

Setting

Description

Leading component

If an envelope is selected, the leading component(s) has(have) to be defined. Results will be displayed for the specified leading component(s).

Multiple selection is possible.

Local/Global

Setting	Description
Local	Internal forces in the local coordinate system of the structural element (also tendon forces) or in the local system of the nodal support spring.
Global	Internal forces in the global coordinate system Elements: The internal forces are calculated in the local system with standard sign rules, and then transformed into global directions by applying a standard direction transformation procedure. Tendon: The forces in longitudinal direction of the tendon are presented

Choice Results: Total, Primary, Secondary

For load cases which have a primary part (internal equilibrium state) such as prestressing, creep and shrinkage, nonlinear temperature distribution.

Total: the total internal forces are presented (primary+secondary)
Primary: primary part of internal forces is presented
Split: secondary part of internal forces is presented

Choice Type: Normal, Join, Split

Related to composite elements or partial elements of composite only

Normal: basic calculation results are presented (e.g. results of the elements that comprised the active system in the current load case calculation)
Split: partial internal forces are presented for the chosen partial elements of the active composite elements
Joined: equivalent results of composite elements for a load case calculated for partial elements before the composite state was activated
