Solid Stresses

Line/Surface Lanes

Select a traffic lane for which the influence line analysis results are to be checked.

Key Element: Enter a beam element number, or click the entry field and the desired solid element in the working window.

Scale Factor: Enter the drawing scale factor for the influence line. This does not affect the influence line values.

Parts

Assign a position in the solid element within which the stress influence line is sought.

Components

      Assign a desired component of the solid element's stress.

              Local

               Sig - xx : Axial stress in the X direction with respect to the element.

               Sig - yy : Axial stress in the Y direction with respect to the element.

               Sig - zz : Axial stress in the Z direction with respect to the element.

               Sig - xy : Shear stress in the XY plane with respect to the element.

               Sig - yz : Shear stress in the YZ plane with respect to the element.

               Sig - xz : Shear stress in the XZ plane with respect to the element.

             UCS

               Sig - xx : Axial stress in the X direction in the global coordinate.

               Sig - yy : Axial stress in the Y direction in the global coordinate.

               Sig - zz : Axial stress in the Z direction in the global coordinate.

               Sig - xy : Shear stress in the XY plane in the global coordinate.

               Sig - yz : Shear stress in the YZ plane in the global coordinate.

               Sig - xz : Shear stress in the XZ plane in the global coordinate.

Contour

Display the solid element's stress influence line in contour.

Ranges: Define the contour ranges.

: Assign the color distribution range of contour. Using the function, specific colors for specific ranges can be assigned.

Number of Colors: Assign the number of colors to be included in the contour (select among 6, 12, 18, 24 colors)
 

Colors: Assign or control the colors of the contour.

Color Table: Assign the type of Colors.

: Control the colors by zones in the contour.

Reverse Contour: Check on to reverse the sequence of color variation in the contour.

Contour Line: Assign the boundary line color of the contour

Element Edge: Assign the color of element edges while displaying the contour
 

Contour Options: Specify options for contour representation

Contour Fill

Gradient Fill: Display color gradient (shading) in the contour.

Draw Contour Lines: Display color boundaries in the contour.

Draw Contour Line Only
Display only the colored boundaries of the contour.

Mono line: Display the boundaries of the contour in a mono color.

Contour Annotation
Legend or annotation signifying the ranges of the contour is displayed.

Spacing: Specify the spacing of the legend or annotation.

Coarse Contour (faster) (for large plate or solid model)
Represent a simplified contour for a large model using plate or solid elements in order to reduce the time required to represent a complete contour.

Extrude
Where plate elements or solid elements along a cutting plane are represented in contour, a three dimensional contour is created. The positive direction of the analysis results is oriented in the z-axis direction of the local element coordinate system.
The option is not concurrently applicable with the Deformed Shape option. Similarly, the option cannot be concurrently applied to the cases where the Hidden option is used to display plate element thicknesses or the Both option is used to represent Top & Bottom member forces (stresses).

Legend

Display various references related to analysis results to the right or left of the working window.

Legend Position: Position of the legend in the display window

Values

Display the stress influence line in numerical values.
The font and color of the numbers can be controlled in Display Option.

Decimal Points: Assign decimal points for the displayed numbers

Exp.: Express as exponentials
 

Min & Max: Display the maximum, minimum values

Abs Max: Display the absolute maximum value

Max: Display only the maximum value

Min: Display only the minimum value

Limit Scale (%): Set the screen display limit for stress influence line values relative to the selected maximum or minimum value
 

Set Orientation: Display orientation of numerical values

Note
The default Decimal Points can be controlled in "Preferences".
Set Orientation = 0 horizontally displays the numerical values to the right of nodes or elements.
The orientation angle represents the counter-clockwise direction, which may be used to enhance the readability of the numbers.

Animate

Dynamically simulate the variation of stresses and deformed shapes due to the moving load.

Click then click Record to the right of the Animation control board at the bottom of the working window.

Animation Mode: Select the type of animation for analysis results.

Animate Contour: Option to change the color of the contour representing the transition according to the magnitudes of variation

Repeat Half/Full Cycle: Select the repetition cycle for the dynamic representation of the transition

Note
Select 'Half Cycle' for the transient shapes of a deformed structure and 'Full Cycle' for dynamically simulating vibration modes or buckling modes.
 

AVI Options: Enter the options required to produce the animation window.

Bits per Pixel: Number of bits per pixel to create the default window for animation

: Assign the method of compressing image data

Frames per Half Cycle (3~300): Number of frames to simulate a 'Half Cycle'

Frames per Second (5~60): Number of frames per second to present dynamic simulation
 

Construction Stage Option: Select the animation options when the construction stage analysis is performed.

Stage Animation: Animations by construction stages

Current Stage-Step: Animations by Steps in the current construction stage

From ~ To: Starting and ending construction stages or steps for animations
 

Include Impact Factor

Reflect the impact factor in the display.
