Member displacements - data

Returns information concerning values of member displacements.

RSA_BAR_DISPLACEMENT_DATA (Information type, Displacement type, Extremum type, Bar no., Case no., Division points no.)

The RSA_BAR_DISPLACEMENT_DATA formula syntax has the following arguments:

Information type

The following types of information are available:
  • BAR_NO

    returns a member no.

  • CASE_COMPONENT_NO

    returns a number of the case component in the combination

  • CASE_NO

    returns a case no.

  • EXTREMUM

    returns a force value for the extremum found

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.

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.

Extremum type

The following types of extremum are available:

  • MAX

    maximum value

  • MIN

    minimum value

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.

Bar no.

The following input methods are available:

  • Text - type a text (any character string) and enclose it in quotation marks, for example: "ALL" - all members in the project or "1 2 3" - specified list of members
  • 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 "@" (members which are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional are taken into account).

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 "@" (cases which are selected graphically in Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis Professional are taken into account)

Division points no.

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

EXAMPLE

Open the RSA_FORMULAS.rtd and RSA_FORMULAS.xlsx files to get a better understanding of the example below.

Note: The files are located in C:/ProgramData/Autodesk/Examples/Results Connect/RSA.

Formula:

RSA_BAR_DISPLACEMENT_DATA("BAR_NO","UX","MIN","ALL","ALL",21) - returns the number of a member with the minimal UX displacement value among all members and cases defined in the project with 21 division points.

Result (data):

41
