Evaluate the support reactions expressed in numerical values and the
size of arrows.
From the Main
Menu select Results
> Reactions > Reaction Forces/Moments.
Select Results >
Reactions > Reaction Forces/Moments in the Menu tab of
the Tree Menu.
Click Reaction Forces/Moments in the Icon Menu.
Load Cases/Combinations
Select a desired load case or load combination.
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.
Components
Select the desired reaction
components. The reaction components are provided with respect to GCS.
When a nodal local coordinate system is defined for the nodes, the results
can be produced in the local coordinate system.
FX:
Reaction component in GCS X- or Node local x-direction
FY:
Reaction component in GCS Y- or Node local y-direction
FZ:
Reaction component in GCS Z- or Node local z-direction
FXYZ:
The magnitudes of reaction forces are produced by individual components
in the Global X, Y & Z directions separately (or x, y & z directions
of the local node coordinate system).
MX:
Moment reaction component about GCS X- or node local x-axis
MY:
Moment reaction component about GCS Y- or node local y-axis
MZ:
Moment reaction component about GCS Z- or node local z-axis
MXYZ:
The magnitudes of reaction moments are produced by individual components
in the Global X, Y & Z directions separately (or x, y & z directions
of the local node coordinate system).
Local
(if defined) : Where nodes are defined with local coordinate systems,
support reactions are produced with respect to the local coordinate systems.
Note
Reactions of slave nodes were printed at the slave nodes. From
V690, slave node reactions are combined and printed as the vertical load
and moments at the master node.
Type of Display
Assign the type of display as follows:
Values
Display the reaction components at the supports
in numerical values. The font and color of the numbers can be changed
in Display Option.
Decimal
Points: Assign decimal points for the displayed numbers.
Exp.: Express as exponentials.
Min &
Max: Display the maximum and minimum values of support reactions.
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 support reactions
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.
Note
Results in the displacement diagram can be displayed in either exponential
or real numbers.
Arrow Scale Factor
Control the scale for arrows representing
the magnitudes of reactions.
Batch Output Generation ( , )
Given the types of analysis results for Graphic
outputs, generate consecutively graphic outputs for selected load cases
and combinations. A total number of files equal to the products of the
numbers of checked items in the three columns of the dialog box below
are created.
Assign a Base File Name under which the types
of results (selection data in the Batch Output Generation dialog box for
graphic outputs) are stored.
Specify the Base Files to perform Batch Output
Generation, construction stages, load cases (combinations), steps, etc.
in the following dialog box.
Batch
Output Generation dialog box
Saved Menu-Bar
Info's: Listed here are the Base Files. Select the Base File Names
for Batch Output.
: Delete all the Base Files selected with the mouse.
When the construction stage analysis is carried
out, all the construction stages are listed. We simply select the stages
of interests to be included in the batch output. If no construction stage
analysis is performed, the column in the dialog box becomes inactive and
lists load (combination) conditions.
Stages
The results output of all the construction stages are produced. The construction
stages are listed below.
Final Stage
Loads
The results output for only the Final Stage are produced. The construction
stages are listed below. If no construction stage analysis is performed,
the load (combination) conditions are listed.
Use Saved
Apply only the (saved) step or load (combination) condition selected at
the time of creating each Base File.
Stage LCase/LComb
When the construction stage analysis is carried out, the auto-generated
construction stage load conditions and the additionally entered construction
stage load combinations are listed. Check on only the load (combination)
conditions that will be used to produce batch outputs. This column becomes
inactive if “Final Stage Loads?is selected or no construction stage analysis
is carried out.
Step Option
Specify the steps for which the outputs will be produced when the construction
stage analysis or large displacement geometric nonlinear analysis is performed.
Saved Step:
Use only the steps used for creating the Base Files
All Steps:
Use all the steps
Output Options
Output File Type
Select a Graphic File type, either BMP or EMF.
Auto Description:
At the top left of the Graphic Outputs produced in batch, auto-generate
and include the notes such as the types and components of the analysis
results, construction stages and steps, load (combination) conditions,
etc. The font size, color, type, etc. can be changed upon clicking the
button .

Path
Specify the path for saving the graphic files to be produced in batch.
File Prefix:
Specify the prefix of the Graphic Files to be created. The filenames will
be consisted of "Prefix"_"Base File Name"_"Load
Comb.".bmp(emf) or "Prefix"_"Base File Name"_"Stage"_"Stage
LCase"_"Step".bmp(emf).
: Produce the specified batch
Graphic Files reflecting the contents of the dialog box.
/
Produce the contents of data input in the
Base Files and Batch Output Generation dialog box in a binary type file
(fn.bog). Click the
button and select a fn.bog to use the same output format.
Note
Import /Export is only meaningful for different projects. In a given structural
model, the Base Files are automatically stored and listed.
