Wireframe result model

Wireframe mode calculates and displaying results only for centre lines (1D) and centre planes (2D). This option is much less demanding on performance resulting to faster visualization of the results and deformed shape of structure.

It is recommended when you want to display deformed shape of whole structure.

Only available magnitude which can be displayed as deformed shape is:

U_global - global displacement of particular fibre. U_global = √(ux²+uy²+uz²)

Other values is shown in preview or table result table, but the shape and values in result palette in 3d window is always taken from U_global of currently used load condition.

Result case

The property group Result case enables to specify the loading conditions for which the result is calculated. it enables to select from available Types of load (Load case, Combination, Nonlinear combination, Result class, ...) and then the particular instance for selected Type of load.

For envelope combinations or for result classes it is possible to switch between maximal or minimal values. This selection influences the values displayed as isolines. In each node of the isolines the maximum or minimum is taken as the result value.

Wireframe check box turns ON that only centre lines and centre planes are used for calculation and displaying the results. This option is much less demanding on performance resulting to faster visualization of the results and deformed shape of structure.

Draw result on...

It is possible to switch ON/OFF drawing of results on 1D members or 2D members..

Deformed structure

The wireframe results values can be displayed on deformed structure.
