Specifying report as zero

RAM Concept allows you to filter out trivial results with the Report as Zero option. For example, column reactions have components for Fr, Fs, Fz, Mr and Ms. Some of these values, such as Fr and Fs, may be very small and hence not important. Filtering small values from plan plots can make the results easier to read.

Note: Using this feature could result in human error, as you might later assume zeroed values are exactly equal to zero.

You specify Report as Zero in the Units window.

Choose Criteria > Units.
Enter one or more Report as Zero values.

Note: You can also turn off plotted values such as Fr and Fs with the plot menu. See "Setting the plotted results".
