Variables are used to display different results with the same plot profile. Variables are set up using the -variables- button. Variables are set up with a default value and may be referenced in page, view or object settings for scaling and definition of result loadcases, superposition files or stress point names and descriptive text objects using angle brackets. New values are passed to the variables, when the plot is performed using the action ++DoPlot. To apply variables, drop down arrows are used in individual input fields. See the individual help pads for a list of input fields that may be used with variables.
Internally created variables are:
DPlot
|
Name of the Plot-Profile (to be used in the plot-filename to be created from interpreting the plot profile). |
Stage
|
containing the name of the current stage during structural analysis. |
PText1, PText2
|
Project description lines 1 and 2 as defined in :: Construction Schedule .: Recalc |
FileName
|
Filename of the current plot file |
Date
|
Creation date of the current plot file |
Time
|
Creation time of the current plot file |
Special internally created variables for the results of eigenfrequencies (Action Eigen):
_OMEGA
|
Angular velocity (including output of unit [rad/s]) |
_FREQU
|
Frequency (including output of unit [Hz]) |
_MASSX
|
Mass participation factor of the particular eigenmode in global X-direction (including output of unit [%]) |
_MASSY
|
Mass participation factor of the particular eigenmode in global Y-direction (including output of unit [%]) |
_MASSZ
|
Mass participation factor of the particular eigenmode in global Z-direction (including output of unit [%]) |
_SUMX
|
Sum of the load in global X-direction (including output of unit [force] (user defined)) |
_SUMY
|
Sum of the load in global Y-direction (including output of unit [force] (user defined)) |
_SUMZ
|
Sum of the load in global Z-direction (including output of unit [force] (user defined) |
_INFO
|
Description of the load case |
These internal variables have to be used in reference to the load case where the respective eigenfrequency is stored using the following syntax, e.g. for omega of load case eigen#3:
<_OMEGA eigen#3>
or
<_OMEGA <LC>>
if the load case itself is addressed via a variable with the name LC.
(Note the space between the variable and the load case name).
In order to plot a series of load case results for a series of eigenmode load cases refer to Action DoPlot.
