Selecting the 1D members for display

The result diagrams may be displayed on (i) all the 1D members in the structure, or (ii) selected 1D members only.

Which variant is actually applied can be adjusted in the Property window by means of parameters Selection and Filter.

Selection

All

If this option is selected, the result diagrams are displayed on all 1D members in the structure.

Current

 

The result diagrams are displayed on all the currently selected members.

Advanced

 

This option allows the user to display diagrams on selected members. It is similar to the previous option but offers something more. See below the table.

Named

 

This option allows the user to select one of the previously created, named and saved selections.

Selection: Advanced

With this option, you may select required members on which the results are to be displayed and review the results. Then you may clear the selection. The result diagrams, however, remain displayed. Now you may make a new selection and invoke the refresh of the screen. The program will ask you what to do. The available options are:

Use current selection

The result diagrams displayed during the last refresh are deleted. New result diagrams are displayed on the currently selected members only.

Add current selection to previous selection

The result diagrams displayed during the last refresh remain displayed. New result diagrams are shown on the currently selected members.

Use previous selection

The current selection is ignored. The result diagrams displayed during the previous refresh remain displayed.

Subtract current selection from previous selection

If there is a result diagram currently displayed on one of the currently selected members, this diagram is hidden. The result diagrams that are shown on members that are not in the current selection remain displayed.

Filter

No

No filter is applied.

 

Wildcard

The set of 1D members for display is defined by a wildcard expression.

E.g. expression "N*" lists all entities whose name starts with letter N. The expression "B??" lists all entities whose name starts with letter B and is followed by two characters.

 

Cross-section

Diagrams are shown only on entities of selected cross-section.

 

Material

Diagrams are shown only on entities of selected material.

 

Layer

Diagrams are shown only on entities inserted into selected layer.

Structure

This parameter is useful especially for nonlinear analysis construction stages analysis.

Initial

The diagrams of result quantities are drawn at the initial (non-deformed) shape of the analysed structure.

The "smoothness" of the diagram is specified by the Number of sections on average member that can be adjusted in Solver setup.

 

Mesh

The diagrams of result quantities are drawn at the initial mesh for the evaluated construction stage. For the results of stage 1 or for results of a simple (non-staged) calculation it is identical with the previous option. However, for stage 2 and subsequent ones it represents the "initial" shape of the structure at the beginning of the evaluated constructions stage

The smoothness of the diagram is given by how fine the generated mesh is.

 

Deformed

The diagrams of result quantities are drawn at the final (deformed) shape of the analysed structure.

The deformation of the structure uses fixed predefined scale 1:1.

 

Section

This parameter defines how detailed and smooth the diagram is.

All

The checks are performed and displayed in all sections along the member. The number of sections is defined in Solver setup.

 

Input

The checks are performed and displayed ONLY in sections defined by the user. The sections can be defined in service Structure.

 

Ends

The checks are performed and displayed ONLY in end points of the member.

 

Input + Ends

The checks are performed and displayed in sections defined by the user and in the end points of the member. The sections can be defined in service Structure.
