View Ultimate LC Moments
-
Choose Layers > Load Combinations > Factored LC: 1.25D + 1.5L + 1.5S > Max Mx Plan.
The Mx contours should be visible.
Let’s modify this plan to show moments for the "Standard" context (full load, with standard load factors) instead of the "Max" context (maximum value for any set of standard or alternate load factors and any load pattern).
-
Right click over the plan and choose Plot (
).
- In the plot window that opens, the Slab tab should be active. Change the Context item from "Max" to "Standard". Click OK. Now let’s draw some section distribution plots.
-
Turn on Snap Orthogonal (
)
-
Click the Selected Plot Distribution tool (
).
- Click first at grid intersection B-3, and then click at grid intersection D-3. This shows the bending moment shape along the line you have drawn.
- While pressing the <Shift> key, click at grid intersection B-1, and then click at grid intersection B-3. This shows how Mx varies across the panel.
