Note 1 Link to the Pushover Hinge Properties dialog
Note 2 Change the assigned hinge properties
(1) Change the hinge properties by defined hinge properties type
Assigned hinge properties to the numerous elements can be modified at once.
① Modify hinge properties in the Define Pushover Hinge Properties dialog.
② All the assigned hinge properties are automatically updated according to the modified hinge properties.
(2) Change hinge properties by assigned members
After assigning hinge properties, hinge properties by members can be changed.
① Right-click on the assigned hinge properties to be revised.
② Select Properties to open the Pushover Hinge Properties dialog.
③ Click Enable to Modify option.
④ Change the properties and click OK button.
⑤ New hinge properties is automatically generated.
⑥ Name of assigned hinge properties is updated.
(3) Change hinge properties using Pushover hinge properties Table
① Right-click on the assigned hinge properties to be revised.
② Click Pushover Hinge Properties Table.
③ Modify the values in the table.
④ If the values are updated in the table, message is displayed.
⑤ New hinge property is generated and the assigned hinge name is updated.
