Beam Summary

 

 

 

Check hinge status of beam elements resulting at each pushover step in a spreadsheet format table.

 

Table Tool in MIDAS/Gen offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to the Usage of Table Tool for detailed information.

 

 

 

From the Main Menu select Design > Pushover Analysis > Pushover Hinge Result Table > Beam Summary

 

Select Design Tables > Pushover Analysis > Beam Summary in the Tables tab from the Tree Menu.

 

 

 

 

Upon executing the Beam Summary function, the Records Activation Dialog is invoked. Click  after selecting the output entities such as load cases, pushover steps, etc.

 

1. Beam Type

 

 

Deform : Total deformation (Elastic deformation + Plastic Deformation)

 

D/D1 : Ratio of the total deformation to the 1st yielding deformation

 

D/D2 : Ratio of the total deformation to the 2nd yielding deformation

 

P1 : 1st yielding strength

 

P2 : 2nd yielding strength

 

D1 : 1st yielding deformation or strain

 

D2 : 2nd yielding deformation or strain

 

Note

Each component (Dx, Dy, Dz, Rx, Ry & Rz) is separately displayed in each tab. For PMM type, yield moment for each step due to P-M interaction can be checked in the table.
