Tables

Tables are used to display structural data, loads, or results.

Access

To access a structural data table

Select one of the geometry layouts from the layouts drop down menu, e.g. Nodes.

To access the Loads table

Click Loads Load Table.

To access the Results table

Click Results, and then select a type of result, e.g. Displacements.

Tables are useful to display lists of data such as node numbers, applied loads, or displacements for example.

You can select an element in the drawing area by clicking its related cell in the table, and vice versa.

These tables can be divided in two groups:

Structure node data/results such as supports, reactions, or node displacements.
Structure bar data/results such as sections, materials, forces, or stresses.

<Data> table

<Data> tables include the following tables:

Nodes,
Bars,
Supports,
Loads.

These tables contain the Values, Edit and Info tabs.

The Values tab presents data for the selected component elements of the structure. This tab cannot be edited.

The Edit tab allows you to modify the data presented in the Values tab.

<Results> table

<Results> tables include the following tables:

Reactions,
Displacements,
Deflections,
Forces,
Stresses.

These tables contain the Values, Envelopes, Global Extremes, and Info tabs.

The Values tab presents the resulting values for all structure nodes/bars and all load cases defined for the structure.

The Envelope tab displays the maximum and minimum values that were selected for the presentation of all structure nodes/bars.

The Global Extremes tab displays the minimal and maximal values that were obtained during the structure analysis and selected for presentation in the table.

The Info tab lists the nodes, bars and load cases for which values obtained during the structure analysis will be displayed in the table.

Contextual menu

Several options are available from the Tables contextual menu, such as filtering, content management, or resizing options.

Right-click in the table to access the contextual menu.

Tables: Opens the Tables: Data and Results dialog which allows you to display or hide a selection of tables.
Filters: Opens the Filtering dialog which allows you to select which data you want to dsplay in the table.
Special Filter: Opens the Nodal value selection dialog which allows you to access advanced filtering options.
Table Columns: Opens the Nodal value selection dialog which allows you to select which data you want to include in the table.
Note: Select the desired parameters from the dialog, and then click OK to add or replace existing columns.
Units and Formats: Opens the Job Preferences dialog which allows you to change the default units for the project.
Robot Command line: Allows you to use commands in the program.
Fonts: Allows you to change the style of the column or row headers as well as the general style of the table.
Resize width: Resizes the column to the default width.
