TR.37.6.8 Print Steady State/Harmonic Results

General Format

PRINT HARMONIC DISPLACEMENTS list-spec
list-spec = { (ALL) | LIST list of items-joints }
This command must be after all steady state/harmonic loadings and before the END STEADY command. For each harmonic frequency of TR.37.6.2 Define Harmonic Output Frequencies the following will be printed:
  1. Modal responses.

  2. Phase angles with 1 line per selected joint containing the phase angle for each of the 6 directions of motion.

  3. Displacements table with 1 line per selected joint containing the maximum displacements for each of the 6 directions of motion.

  4. Velocities.

  5. Accelerations.

Steady State Notes

For members, the final results at the joints will be complete but the section results will be as if the member loads were applied as statically equivalent loads at the member ends.

Steady State Examples
