Load cases

产品文档

Select the Load cases tab in the Columns dialog to select load case quantities for presentation.

In the Selection of displayed information field you can select the following: label (an abbreviated name of a case), case name, case nature, analysis type (linear, non-linear, buckling, and so on) and combination definition.

Below are options for non-linear cases. If:

  • a case is non-linear
  • you have selected saving results for each increment for that case
  • you have selected only that case in the table,

you can display results for each load increment.

NoteBy default, results are saved only for the last increment in a non-linear case. You can select saving results for each increment:
  • for a single case in the parameters of a non-linear analysis case (select Analysis menu > Analysis Types, click Parameters, select Non-linear analysis or P-delta analysis, click Parameters, select Save results after each increment)
  • by default, for new cases (select Tools menu > Job Preferences > Structure Analysis > Non-linear Analysis, click Parameters of incremental method, in the Incremental Method Parameters dialog select Saving results after every iteration).

The above dialog has 2 options for non-linear cases:

  • Results for last increment - to display results for the last increment
  • Results for each increment - to display in the table results for each increment as Case / Increment. It applies to all tables that have the Load cases tab.

Display loads automatically generated in the program presents a load table with automatically generated static loads on the basis of defined pseudostatic forces. This is a simple load case generated on the basis of the seismic or spectral analysis case mode.
