Pushover Graph

 

 

 

Plot graphs for pushover analysis results. Following results can be plotted.

 

1. Force versus Deformation for Beam, Truss, Wall and General Link to which pushover hinge is assigned.

2. Incremental nodal displacement

3. Pushover hinge results for the load increment

 

 

 

From the Main Menu select Design > Pushover Analysis > Pushover Graph.

 

 

 

 

  Define/Modify Function

 

Define or change the output parameters for time history analysis results to be plotted in graphs.

->Refer to Pushover Result Function

 

 

Function List

 

Select the functions to be plotted in a graph from the list of the defined functions. Multiple functions can be plotted on a single graph for comparative purposes.

 

 

 Vertical Axis

 

Select the item corresponding to the vertical axis of the graph.  

 

 

 Horizontal Axis

 

Select the item corresponding to the horizontal axis of the graph. The item that can be selected is one of Pushover Increment Step and the functions listed in Define Function.

 

 

 Type of Display

 

Enter a title of the pushover analysis result graph and a format of output for axes.

 

Graph Title : Title of Pushover analysis result graph

 

X-Axis Deci. Pt.(Exp) : Decimal points and whether to

express in exponents for X-axis of the graph

 

Y-Axis Deci. Pt.(Exp) : Decimal points and whether to express in exponents for Y-axis of the graph

 

 

  Context Manu

 

Right click on the graph displayed on the screen to prompt the following Context Menu.

 

Change Title & Label : The title and subtitles to the x & y-axes may be changed.

 

Zoom Out : Drag the mouse over the part that is of interest to zoom in and click Zoom Out to restore the view.
