Node displacements - values

Returns a displacement value for the selected node.

RSA_NODE_DISPLACEMENT_AT (Displacement type, Node no., Case no., Case component no., )

The RSA_NODE_DISPLACEMENT_AT formula syntax has the following arguments:

Displacement type

The following types of displacements are available:

• RX

  rotation RX

• RY

  rotation RY

• RZ

  rotation RZ

• UX

  displacement UX

• UY

  displacement UY

• UZ

  displacement UZ

Note: If you type an argument in the formula manually, enclose the text in quotation marks. You can also select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from.

Node no.

The following input methods are available:

• Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all nodes in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of nodes
• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If nodes are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first node selected.

Case no.

The following input methods are available:

• Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all cases in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of cases
• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If cases are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first case selected.

Case component no.

It is a number of the case included in a combination.

The following input methods are available:

• Number - type an integer
• Cell address - select or type a cell address (for example A1) which the data will be loaded from
• Graphical selection - select this option in the dialog or type "@"
  Note: If cases components are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional, then the program returns information for the first case component selected.
