Search Displacements

Check the displacement of a particular node in numerical values.

From the Main Menu select Results > Deformations > Search Displacements.

Select Results > Deformations > Search Displacements in the Menu tab of the Tree Menu.

Click Search Displacements in the Icon Menu.

Load Cases/Combinations

Select a desired load case, load combination or envelope case.

Click to the right to enter new or modify existing load combinations. (Refer to "Load Cases / Combinations")

Step
Specify the step for which the analysis results are to be produced. The Step is defined in geometric nonlinear analysis as Load Step, and additional steps are defined in the construction stages of highrise buildings or heat of hydration analyses.

Note
The Construction Stage applicable for the output of the construction stage analysis is defined in Select Construction Stage for Display or Stage Toolbar.

Node Picking

Node Number
Enter the node number for which the displacement is to be checked, or click the entry field and assign the node with the mouse in the working window.

 

Note
When the node number is assigned, the following items are displayed in the Message Window :

Node Number

DX: Displacement component in GCS X-direction

DY: Displacement component in GCS Y-direction

DZ: Displacement component in GCS Z-direction

DXYZ:

RX: Rotation component about GCS X-axis

RY: Rotation component about GCS Y-axis

RZ: Rotation component about GCS Z-axis
