Function
- Check the internal forces and stresses of truss elements from the analysis results in a spreadsheet format table.
- Table Tool in midas Civil offers a variety of powerful built-in functions. Refer to Usage of Table Tool for detail directions:
Call
From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Force & Stress]
From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Force]
From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Stress]
Input
Refer to "Truss Forces", "Truss Stresses")
Upon executing the Truss > Force & Stress Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click OK after selecting the output entities such as nodes or elements, loading conditions, construction stages, etc.
Refer to the Results Table in the "Usage of Table Tool" for instructions on how to use the Records Activation Dialog.
Refer to the usage of the Table Tool to examine the following data.
When truss forces are checked, select Current Step Result to produce member forces at the current stage only.
Elem : Element number
Load : Load case/combination
Stage : Construction stage
Step : Sub-stage
Force - I : Axial force at node i (N1) of the truss element
Force -J : Axial force at node j (N2) of the truss element
Stress - I : Axial stress at node i (N1) of the truss element
Stress -J : Axial stress at node j (N2) of the truss element
The output for Stage and Step will be shown in the result table only for the construction stage analysis of a bridge or heat of hydration stage analysis. Results for Step are also produced for geometric nonlinear analysis.
