Function
- Produce the results of inelastic hinge formation of the truss type 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 : Time History Analysis] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Inelastic Hinge] > [Truss Summary]
Input
When the Truss Summary function is executed, the "Records Activation Dialog" is called. Here, you select the output targets such as nodes and elements, load conditions, eigenmode shapes, etc., and then click the OK button. Depending on the case, it may take a considerable amount of time.
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.
Refer to the usage of Table Tool and check the following data.
Truss Summary Tables
Type : Inelastic hinge type
Elem : Element number
Node : Node number
Inelastic Hinge Prop. : Inelastic Hinge Property name defined
Load : Time History Load
Time/Step : Time/Step
Deform : Deformation occurred at the current step
Force : Member force occurred at the current step
D/D1 : Ductility (Deformation / 1st Yielding Deformation)
