Pushover Hinge Status Results

Check the hinge status (Ductility, Deformation, Force, Status of yielding) resulting from the Pushover analysis in Contours.

From the Main Menu select Pushover > Pushover Results > Hinge Status Results.

	Pushover Load Case Name Select a desired load case, load combination entered in Pushover Load Cases. Step : Specify the step for which the analysis results are to be produced. Type of Result Ductility Factor : Ductility factor calculated using hinge property specified in the Define Pushover Hinge Properties D/D1 : Ratio of the displacement to the 1st yielding displacement at the corresponding step D/D2 : Ratio of the displacement to the 2nd yielding displacement at the corresponding step Deformation Plastic Deformation : Plastic deformation (total deformation yielding deformation) Note Plastic deformation is displayed as zero before yielding. Force Status of Yielding : Hinge status for Bilinear/Trilinear type hinge. Note Based on the assigned yielding strengths in Define Pushover Hinge Properties, the hinge status is classified as follows: - Bilinear: Linear, 1st Yielding strength, 2nd Yielding strength - Trilinear: Linear, 1st Yielding strength, 2nd Yielding strength, 3rd Yielding strength If the pushover hinge is a Distributed type, hinge status is classified by elements color. (Linear : Blue, 1st Yield: Green, 2nd Yield : Red). Status of Yielding (FEMA) : Hinge status for FEMA type hinge. Note Hinge status is classified based on three levels of FEMA functionality. - FEMA : Linear, IO(Immediate Occupancy), LS(Life Safety), CP(Collapse Prevention), Collapse Components Select the desired member force component: Dx : Axial component in the element's local x-direction Dy : Shear component in the element's local y-direction Dz : Shear component in the element's local z-direction Rx : Torsional component about the element's local x-axis Ry : Bending moment component about the element's local y-axis Rz : Bending moment component about the element's local z-axis Type of Value Positive : Display the maximum positive displacement Negative : Display the minimum negative displacement Abs Max. : Display the absolute maximum displacement Type of Display Define the type of display as follows:
	Contour	Display the displacement of the model 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 displacement 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: Display the spacing for the legnd 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 reflecting only the nodal displacements. Real Deform: Display the detail deformed shape calculated along the sections between both ends of beam elements together with the 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 nodal displacements 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 nodal displacements 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 Rank Value Type: Specify a type of values in the Legend and the number of decimal points.
	Animate	Dynamically simulate the transition process. 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 Start Step : Enter the starting pushover analysis step for animations. End Step : Enter the ending pushover analysis step for animations. Increment : Enter the increment step of pushover analysis for animation. : Reset Start Step, End Step & Increment as default value.
