Function
Check the design results of steel members by numerical components and contours.
Call
From the Main Menu select Design > Steel Design Result.
Entry
Load Cases/CombinationsSelect the desired load case, load combination or envelope. Click to the right to enter, add or modify load combinations (refer to Load Cases/Combinations).
ComponentsSelect the desired component of the design results from the following: Axial: Axial stress ratio (strength ratio) component Shear-y: Shear stress ratio (strength ratio) component in the direction of the strong axis Shear-z: Shear stress ratio (strength ratio) component in the direction of the weak axis Bend-y: Bending stress ratio (strength ratio) component due to moment about the strong axis Bend-z: Bending stress ratio (strength ratio) component due to moment about the weak axis Combined: Maximum combined stress ratio (strength ratio) component |
Assign the type of display as follows :
Contour |
Display the design results by contours.
|
Ranges: Assign the contour ranges. : Assign the coloring ranges for contour lines. The user may assign specific colors for specific ranges. Note Number of
Colors: Assign the number of colors for the contour (select among
6, 12, 18 & 24 colors) Gradient Fill: Display the color
gradient (shading) in the contour. Draw Contour Lines: Display
the contour lines by colors. Colors: Assign or alter the colors of the contour. Color Tables: Assign the type of Colors. : Control the color of each range in the contour. Reverse Contour: Check on to reverse the sequence of color variation in the contour. Contour Line: Assign the color for contour boundaries. Element Edge: Assign the color of element edges to appear in the contour. |
Legend |
Organize and display various references related to analysis results either to the right or left of the working window.
|
Legend Position: Select the position of the legend in the output window New for Ver.6.0.0 Rank Value Type: Specify a type of values in the Legend and the number of decimal points. |
Values |
Display the selected design result components by means of numerical
values. Note When checking the Design Result on the screen, if the design result exceeds the limit value, the text is marked in red color.
|
Decimal Points: Specify decimal
points of the displayed numbers Min & Max: Display the minimum
and maximum values Limit Scale(%): Set the screen limits for displaying design results relative to the maximum or minimum value Note |
Code Checking Ratio
Strength check results for structural steel sections are displayed. (Refer to Note.)
Display: Select the types of elements for which design check ratios will be displayed.
Column Section Size: Display of column section sizes can be scaled.
Value Option: Specify the number of decimal points for displayed values.
Note
Strength check ratios for structural steel members are displayed as follows:
Strength check results for structural steel members
Strength check results (R1, R2 & R3) for columns and beams are shown above.
Beams
R1: Strength check stress ratio of steel members subject to axial force (compression or tension) and bending moments
R2: Combined stress ratio of steel members subject to normal stress and shear stress
R3: Stress ratio of steel members due to shear force only
Columns
R1: Strength check stress ratio of steel members subject to axial force (compression or tension) and bending moments
R2: Combined stress ratio of steel members subject to normal stress and shear stress
R3: To be upgraded in a future release (currently displayed as '0')
: Apply the displayed strength check ratios to the selected elements.
