Function
- Beam element forces of time history analysis results are tabulated in a Spread Sheet format.
- 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] > [Time History Analysis] > [Beam Force]
Input
When the Beam Force function is executed, the "Records Activation Dialog" is called. Here, you select the element numbers, load conditions, output locations for element forces, etc., and then click the OK button.
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.
Please refer to the usage instructions of Table Tool to check the following data.
Beam Force Tables
Elem : Element number
Load : Output condition for time history analysis results
Max : Maximum value (+)
Min : Minimum value (-)
All : Absolute maximum value
Part : Beam element location at which member forces are produced
Force : The maximum/minimum member axial forces occurred in the corresponding element.
Axial : Axial force in ECS x-direction
Shear - y : Shear force in ECS y- direction
Shear - z : Shear force in ECS z- direction
Torsion : Torsional moment about ECS x-axis
Moment - y : Bending moment about ECS y-axis
Moment - z : Bending moment about ECS z-axis
Time/Step : Time at which the member force occurred
