1D stresses

The 1D internal forces command serves for displaying internal forces on selected 1D members. (not only on Beams, but also on Ribs, Tendons and Integration strips/members)

Usage

  1. Calculate a FEM analysis of the model
  2. Go to Tree > Results > Beams > 1D stresses
  3. Set properties of the command to specify mainly:
    • selection of 1D members where the results are evaluated
    • load type from which the results are derived
    • specific result value from the available list to be visualized
  4. Click on [Refresh] action button to display the results

Note: To get general overview about how to work with Result service and its commands, see Results/Basics.

See "Type of selection"

 

Filter

No / Cross-section / Material / WildCard / Layer / Type of beam

Result case Type of load

Defines for what load the results are displayed.

See"Result case"

Extreme 1D Extreme 1D

No / Section / local / Cross-section / Design group / Member / Global

Defines the position where extremes of result value are evaluated.

note for "extreme no" option: If selected combination or class consist of too many linear combinations and thus it is not possible to display the results in full - conservative method that only displays results for linear combinations causing an extreme response of the structure is used instead.

Values

The following categories of 1D stresses can be displayed:

Basic magnitudes

The basic stresses are default magnitudes referring to the local axes of the selected coordination system.

Value Description Notes
σx

normal stress in direction of local axis x

It is calculated on assumption of linear distribution of the strain within the section. In the first step the plane of deformation is calculated using iterative algorithm () so strain in all fibres is known. In the next step adequate stresses are assigned using stress-strain curve. Remember that linear calculation uses linear approximation (E modulus) of stress-strain curve.
txy/txs transverse shear stress from Vy

They are calculated from the shear force and torsional moment using unit distribution of shear stresses. Those unit distributions of shear stresses are also available in the cross section editing dialogue.

The txs magnitude represents:

walled cross section. Distribution of this shear flow from horizontal a vertical unit shear forces can be checked in the cross section manager.

txz/txs transverse shear stress from Vz
ttor/txs torsional shear stress from Mx
Components possibility to choose more than one value and display them together in 3D window. Only selected values will be displayed in result tables.  

Principal magnitudes

The principal stresses represent the extreme values of the internal forces derived from the basic ones by transformation into the directions of principal axes:

Value Description Notes
σ1

maximum principal stress

 

σ2

minimum principal stress

σE

equivalent stress (von Mises)

ttot

total shear stress

Components possibility to choose more than one value and display them together in 3D window. Only selected values will be displayed in result tables.
