Function
- Define the nodal group to calculate the concurrent joint forces due to moving load cases.
- Generally, the element forces provided by the moving load case are the Max/Min value of each component. However, for the nodes included in the groups selected in this function, the concurrent end forces of the elements connected at a joint are calculated. The results are displayed as a table in Result>Result Table>Concurrent (Max/Min) Joint Force.
Call
From the main menu, select [Load] tab > [Type : Moving Load] > [Advanced] group > [Cocurrent Group] > [Concurrent Joint Force Group]
Input
Select the group to calculate concurrent joint forces from the predefined Structure Group and click on the >> button to assign the selected group.
To delete the entire selected group, click on the Remove Concurrent Joint Force Group button.
