Event Time |
|
|
Times at which yielding takes place in the members defined with inelastic hinges are produced in a 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 > Inelastic Hinges > Event Time |
|
|
Upon executing the Event Time function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click Note Elem: Element Number Hinge Location: Locations where inelastic hinges are assigned. For Lumped Type, it displays as i, j, i & j, FX. For Distributed Type, it displays according to the number of hinges. Load: Time History Load DOF: Degree of freedom 1st Yield Dx: Time at which the Dx component reaches the state of cracking Dy: Time at which the Dy component reaches the state of cracking Dz: Time at which the Dz component reaches the state of cracking Rx: Time at which the Rx component reaches the state of cracking Ry: Time at which the Ry component reaches the state of cracking Rz: Time at which the Rz component reaches the state of cracking 2nd Yield Dx: Time at which the Dx component reaches the state of yielding Dy: Time at which the Dy component reaches the state of yielding Dz: Time at which the Dz component reaches the state of yielding Rx: Time at which the Rx component reaches the state of yielding Ry: Time at which the Ry component reaches the state of yielding Rz: Time at which the Rz component reaches the state of yielding 3rd Yield Dx: Time at which the Dx component reaches the ultimate state Dy: Time at which the Dy component reaches the ultimate state Dz: Time at which the Dz component reaches the ultimate state Rx: Time at which the Rx component reaches the ultimate state Ry: Time at which the Ry component reaches the ultimate state Rz: Time at which the Rz component reaches the ultimate state Note It produces the time at which the third yielding is reached in Tetralinear.
Note If the time is indicated as "0" it means that the state of yielding was never reached. In case of base isolator devices, Event Time is always indicated as "0" regardless of the state of yielding, due to the characteristics of the elements. |
