Stress

Step

Select a desired heat of hydration analysis step.

Stress Options

Define options necessary to draw the stresses.

Global: Display the stresses with respect to GCS.

Local: Display the stresses with respect to the element's local coordinate system.

Element
Display the contour using the element stresses calculated at each node of the elements.

Avg. Nodal
Display the contour using the average nodal stresses of the contiguous elements sharing the common nodes.

Avg. Nodal Active Only
Execute Avg. Nodal for only currently active elements.

Contour

Display the stresses of solid elements resulting from Heat of Hydration analysis 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).

Deform

Display the deformed shape of the model.

Deformation Scale Factor
Magnify or reduce the size of the displacement graphically displayed in the model window.
 

Deformation Type
Select the type of display for displacement.

Nodal Deform: Display the deformed shape only with nodal displacements.
 

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 Displacement: The deformation of the structure is graphically represented relative to the minimum nodal displacement, which is set to "0"

Values

Display the stresses of solid elements resulting from Heat of Hydration analysis 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 and 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 stresses in solid elements 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.

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

Animate

Dynamically simulate the time dependent stresses of the solid elements resulting from Heat of Hydration analysis.
Click  then click Record to the right of the Animation control board at the bottom of the working window.

Animation Mode: Determine 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 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
 

Undeformed

Overlap the undeformed and deformed shapes of the model.

Mirrored

"Mirrored" allows the user to expand the analysis results obtained from a half or quarter model into the results for the full model by reflecting planes.

Half Model Mirroring

Quarter Model Mirroring

Mirror by: Specify the mirror plane (s) by designating a plane and a coordinate in the direction perpendicular to the plane in GCS.

Cutting Plane

Graphically display the stresses of the solid elements along a cutting plane.

Click the button to access the detail setting dialog box to define the cutting plane to produce and view the solid element stresses resulting from Heat of Hydration analysis.

Named Planes for Cutting
Select a plane from the planes defined and ucs x-y, x-z & y-z planes.
Apply the cutting planes checked with "".
 

Outline Type
Outline (highlight) the solid element model using the following options to clearly view the stress distribution on the cutting plane.
The Outline color is selected in the Color or Print Color tab of the Display Option by the Element Free Face/Edge.

Free Face: Draw the outline of all the faces that are not in contact with other solid elements.

Free Edge: Draw only the outline of the edges that are not in contact with other solid elements.
 

: Not supported in Hydration Heat Analysis

IsoSurface

IsoSurface searches and displays the planes of equal stresses resulting from Heat of Hydration analysis within the solid elements.

IsoValue Mode
Define the method of specifying the stresses to which the planes are subjected.

Relative(0~1)
Relative stress levels with the maximum and minimum values of 1 and 0 respectively

Value: True magnitudes of stress values
 

IsoSurface Values
Click the button to enter a numerical value. Multiple entries are possible.

: Click the button to delete data entries.

Draw Polygon Outline
Polygonal boundaries of the planes of equal stresses are outlined. The color of boundary lines is selected as the color of Element Edge in the Contour Details dialog box.

Transparent (Screen only)
Assign a level of transparency for isosurfaces.
 

Model Outline
Outline (highlight) the solid element model using the following options to clearly view the stress distribution on the planes of equal stresses. The color of the outline is determined from the Color of Display Option or Free Face/Edge of Element under the Print Color Tab.

Free Face: Draw the outline of all the faces that are not in contact with other solid elements.

Free Edge: Draw only the outline of the edges that are not in contact with other solid elements.
 

Note
IsoSurface may be used in conjunction with the Animate Option. If one IsoSurface value is entered, the planes of equal stresses are animated within the range of the stress value and the maximum stress value. If two or more stress values are entered, the range of animation starts from the stress level that is lowest of all the values to the maximum value.
