Simple inclination simply defines how much the structure is inclined to one side. The inclination is applicable to vertical structures only. It defines an inclination in horizontal direction per a unit of height. The inclination may be defined in the direction of global axes X and Y.
As an example, let’s assume a vertical cantilever subject to vertical concentrated force.
If no inclination is defined, the horizontal displacement is zero.
If, however, a simple inclination is input, the result is affected by this imperfection and the column’s horizontal displacement is non-zero.
