TR.37.7.2.8 Save Output Results for Multiple Steps
By default the intermediate analysis results are saved for positive increments only at 0.1-inch incremental value of displacement at roof or at control joint. However, you instruct the program to save results at specific intermediate steps. This will create binary post-processing files that include load step results at user-defined points.
General Format
SAVE LOADSTEP RESULT { DISP | BSHEAR } f6
Parameter | Definition |
---|---|
f6 |
If If |
If the value of base shear defined is B and incremental value of BSHEAR
is f, the number of intermediate results that can be saved in B / f. The maximum allowable value is 500. Similarly, if the value of allowable displacement at control joint is D and incremental value of DISP
is n, the number of intermediate results that can be saved in D / n. The maximum allowable value is 500.
Besides saving user-defined intermediate results, the other cases where intermediate results will be saved are as follows:
- A frame hinge is formed
- A frame hinge is trying to unload
- A frame hinge has failed
