Mode Shapes

The Results - Mode Shapes command displays the mode shape from the Eigen solution for all lateral members on the screen. All modes included in the Eigen solution analysis are available.

The same options of Deflected Shape command is provided for Mode Shapes dialog as well. The only difference is that the user needs to choose the mode number from the pull-down menu, and then the deflected shape for the chosen mode shape is shown on screen. It should be noted that mode shape values are not relevant, but rather its shape and Eigenvalues (periods) are important to note.
