Beam Section Temperatures Table
|
|
|
Temperature variations across the sections of beam elements are listed in a spreadsheet format table. The values may be entered or modified. Table Tool in midas Civil is powerful and contains a large variety of built-in functions. Refer to the following items for detail directions: Basic directions (Cell motion, selection, size control, etc.) Data manipulation (Add, delete, modify data, etc.) Copy/Paste data using clipboard |

Refer to "Beam Section Temperatures" Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data: Elem: Element number Load Case: Load case name defining the section temperature loads Direction: ECS y or z-direction in which the temperature difference load exerts 1st~5th Material: Material of Beam element Element: Apply material properties to a selected Element which have been defined in 'Material'. Input: Specify modulus of elasticity and coefficient of thermal expansion. 1st~5th Elasticity: Modulus of elasticity to be applied for thermal stress analysis 1st~5th Ther. Coef.: Thermal expansion coefficient to be applied for thermal stress analysis 1st~5th B: Width of the section to which the temperature load is applied 1st~5th H1: Distance from the center of a beam element to the H1 location where the temperature is defined 1st~5thT1: Temperature at H1 location 1st~5th H2: Distance from the center of a beam element to the H2 location where the temperature is defined 1st~5th T2: Temperature at H2 location Group: Load Group Name Note Up to 5 temperature differences can be assigned to a beam element. |
