Function
- You can enter or modify the data for the rigid end offset distance or joint eccentricity due to the stiffness zone at the ends of the beam elements in a spreadsheet format using the Table Tool.
- The Table Tool in midas Civil is a powerful tool that includes various functions. For detailed instructions on how to use the Table Tool, please refer to the usage guide of the Table Tool.
Call
From main menu, select [Boundary] tab > [Tables] group > [Boundary Tables] > [Beam End Offsets]
Input
(Refer to "Beam End Offsets")
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data:
Element : Element number
Type : Define a reference coordinate system (Global, Element)
When Type = "Global",
RGDXi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS X-direction
RGDYi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Y-direction
RGDZi : Vector component of the end offset distance at N1 end in GCS Z-direction
RGDXj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS X-direction
RGDYj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Y-direction
RGDZj : Vector component of the end offset distance at N2 end in GCS Z-direction
When Type = "Element",
RGDXi : End offset distance in the element's local (+) x-direction at N1 end
RGDXj : End offset distance in the element's local (+) x-direction at N1 end
Group : Boundary Group in which the entered boundary conditions are included
