Truss Summary

Produce the results of inelastic hinge formation of the truss type 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 > Inelastic Hinges > Truss Summary

Upon executing the Truss Summary function, Records Activation Dialog prompts.  Click   after selecting the output entities such as nodes or elements, loading conditions, eigenvalue modes, etc. Click   to produce a table for the selected entities.  It may take a long time occasionally.

Note

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

Type: Inelastic hinge type

Elem: Element number

Node: Node number

Inelastic Hinge Prop.: Inelastic Hinge Property name defined

Load: Time History Load

Time/Step: Time/Step

Deform: Deformation occurred at the current step

Force: Member force occurred at the current step

D/D1: Ductility (Deformation / 1st Yielding Deformation)
