Nodal Displacements

The Nodal Displacements Report lists translational and rotational displacements for every node. If there is meshed diaphragms and Reports - Include semirigid diaphragm node results option is check out, the report also gives nodal displacements for nodes on semirigid diaphragm. Note that the report can be too long for big models.

Nodal Displacement Listings

Nodal displacements are organized by floor level. Each node is listed with the three translational and three rotational displacements. The displacements are with respect to the global coordinate system.

Nodal Displacements for Live Load cases are based on Unreduced Live Loads.

SettingDescription
LdC This refers to the Load Case.
Disp X This is the displacement in the X-direction.
Disp Y This is the displacement in the Y-direction.
Disp Z This is the displacement in the Z-direction.
Theta X This is the rotation about the X-axis.
Theta Y This is the rotation about the Y-axis.
Theta Z This is the rotation about the Z-axis.
