stage analysis is defined in Select

Plane Stress or Solid elements, the pushover analysis results
for Plate, Plane Stress or Solid elements can be produced by Steps.

results is oriented in the z-axis direction of the local
element coordinate system.
The option is not concurrently applicable with the Deformed

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).

Real Displacement (Auto-Scale
off): The true deformation of the structure is
graphically represented without magnifying or reducing
it. This option is typically used for geometric nonlinear
analysis reflecting large displacement.

relative to the minimum nodal displacement, which is set
to "0"

Mirror by: Specify the mirror plane (s) by designating

Disp. Opt. |
Plate stress contour can be displayed
using the value at the element center instead of element
node. Plate stresses
at the nodes are determined by the linear interpolation
of Gauss points, which often leads to stress exceeding
yield stress. The
center values will rarely exceed the yield stress.
|
|
|
Yield Point |
If the analysis
results produced by material nonlinear analysis exceed
the yield stress of Plastic
Material defined in Initial Uniaxial Yield Stress,
Hinge is produced at Gauss Point. |
|
|
Note 1
Yield Point is applicable
in Plane Stress Elements and Plate Elements.
Note
2
For displaying Yield Points
on a Plate Element, a Laminated Shell model with 7 layers has
been used in order to consider material nonlinear analysis. To
check the yield state of Gauss Points, "0,1" is applied
from bottom to top. "0" represents the state of elasticity
and "1" the state of yielding. For rectangular or triangular
elements, the method of displaying "0,1" is identical.
