Force & Stress Table

Check the internal forces and stresses of plate elements from the analysis results in a spreadsheet format table.

Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions.

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Force & Stress.

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Force (Local).

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Force (Global).

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Force (Unit Length).

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Stress (Local).

From the Main Menu select Results > Result Tables > Plate > Stress (Global).

Refer to "Plate Forces/Moments", "Plane/Plate Stresses")

Upon executing the Plate > Force & Stress Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click after selecting the output entities such as nodes or elements, loading conditions, construction stages, etc.

Note
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.

Plate Stress (Local)

Node: Node number

Part: Top or bottom fiber of a plate element in the element's local z-direction

Angle: Angle formed by the element's local x-axis and the axis of the maximum principal stress vector. Angle is not generated for Envelop Type load combination since concurrent stresses cannot be calculated for the Envelop Type load combination.

Sig-EFF: Effective stress (von-Mises Stress)

Note
For the method of calculating principal stresses, effective stresses and maximum shear stresses for each load combination type, refer to the explanations at the bottom of the Combinations page.  

Plate Stress (Global)

Stage: Construction stage

Step: Sub-stage

Node: Node number

Sig-ZZ: Axial stress in GCS Z-direction

Sig-XY: Shear stress in GCS X-Y plane

Sig-XZ: Shear stress in GCS X-Z plane

Sig-Max: Maximum principal stress

Sig-Min: Minimum principal stress

Sig-EFF: Effective stress (von-Mises Stress)
 

Note1
The Stage and Step columns in the Analysis Result Table are produced for a construction stage analysis or Hydration Heat Analysis. The Step column is produced also for a geometric nonlinear analysis.

Note 2
For the method of calculating principal stresses, effective stresses and maximum shear stresses for each load combination type, refer to the explanations at the bottom of the Combinations page.   

Wood Armer moment (Unit Length)

Elem: Element number

Load: Unit load case/combination

Stage: Construction stage

Step: Sub-stage

Node: Node number

Ma: Bending moment per unit width about a-axis

Mb: Bending moment per unit width about b-axis

Mab: Twisting moment per unit width about a-b axes

W-A Moment Top/Bot Dir1/2 : Wood Armer moment value for the respective preceding combination of moments.

Note 1. Wood-Armer formula for skew reinforcement

Note 2
Values of Ma, Mb and Mab are repeated four times in the table, because for moving load analysis, midas Civil takes into account different combinations of concurrent forces in order to achieve maximum wood armer moment for top or bottom rebar parts in any specified direction. E.g. the combination of moments to be used for maximizing “top dir-1” and “bot dir-1” moments may be quite different since the concurrent forces required to maximize these moments can be different.
