Beam Force & Stress Result Table

Function

  • Check the internal forces and stresses of beam 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] > [Beam] > [Force & Stress]

From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Beam] > [Force]

From the main menu, select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis result] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Beam] > [Stress]

 

Input

Upon executing the Beam > 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. In some cases, it may take a considerable amount of time.

Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.

If you check Beam Force, select Current Step Result to output the member force of the current stage.

Elem : Element number

Load : Unit load case/combination

Stage : Construction stage

Step : Sub-stage


Beam Force

Results-tables-beam-force stress-beam force.png

Part : Output position along the length of each element

Axial : Axial force

Shear - y : Shear force in the element's local y-direction

Shear - z : Shear force in the element's local z-direction

Torsion : Torsional moment about the element's local x-axis

Moment - y : Bending moment about the element's local y-axis

Moment - z : Bending moment about the element's local z-axis

Bi-Moment : Bi-moment

T-Moment : Twisting moment

W-Moment : Warping Moment


Beam Stress

Results-tables-beam-force stress-beam stress1.png

Part : Output position along the length of each element

Axial : Axial stress

Shear - y : Shear stress in the element's local y-direction

Shear - z : Shear stress in the element's local z-direction

Bend(+y) : Resulting stress on the ECS (+) y-axis side due to the bending moment (Mz)

Bend(-y) : Resulting stress on the ECS (-) y-axis side due to the bending moment (Mz)

Bend(+z) : Resulting stress on the ECS (+) z-axis side due to the bending moment (My)

Bend(-z) : Resulting stress on the ECS (-) z-axis side due to the bending moment (My)

NOTE.png The Stage and Step columns in the Analysis Result Table are produced for a construction stage analysis or Hydration Heat Analysis. The Step column is produced also for a geometric nonlinear analysis.

Results-tables-beam-force stress-beam stress2.png

Cb(min/max) : Max. combined stress among the absolute values of Cb1, Cb2, Cb3 and Cb4

Cb1(-y+z) : Axial+ Bend(-y) + Bend(+z)

Cb2(+y+z) : Axial+ Bend(+y) + Bend(+z)

Cb3(+y-z) : Axial+ Bend(+y) + Bend(-z)

Cb4(-y-z) : Axial+ Bend(-y) + Bend(-z)


Beam Stress(7th DOF)

Part : Output position along the length of each element

Section Position : Warping stress position among Pos-1, 2, 3, 4 and max

Sax(Warping) : Warping Normal Stress

Ssy(Mt) : Shear Stress due to Twisting Moment (τxy)

Ssy(Mw) : Shear Stress due to Warping Moment (τxy)

Ssz(Mt) : Shear Stress due to Twisting Moment (τxz)

Ssz(Mw) : Shear Stress due to Warping Moment (τxz)

Cb(Ssy) : Shear Stress due to “Transverse + Twisting Moment + Warping Moment”(τxy)

Cb(Ssz) : Shear Stress due to “Transverse + Twisting Moment + Warping Moment” (τxz)


View by Max Value Items

When maximum and minimum values occur for a force component in moving load analysis and support settlement analysis, other components of the member forces corresponding to the maximum or minimum values can be generated.

After generating a Force or Stress table, right-click the mouse and select view by Max Value Item.

Items to Display : Select a member force component, which should become the basis of Min or Max value.

Load Cases to Display : Select load cases for moving load and support settlement load, or load combinations containing such load cases for generating a concurrent force table.

Component : member force component, which becomes the basis of producing concurrent forces

NOTE.png Since Result By Max Value [Beam Force] cannot be sorted, it is recommended that sorting be done to suit a desirable format before executing View by Max Value Item. If the output of concurrent forces for max and min values is required for moving load analysis, select Normal + Concurrent Force from the Main Menu>Analysis>Moving Load Analysis Control Data.
