Call
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Force & Stress Table]
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Force Table]
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Truss] > [Stress Table]
Input
(Refer to "Truss Forces", "Truss Stresses")
Upon executing the Truss > Force & Stress Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click the OK Button after selecting the output entities such as nodes or elements, loading conditions, construction stages, etc.
Note
Refer to Results Table of "Usage of Table Tool" for the usage of Records Activation Dialog.
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and check the following data:
Elem: Element number
Load : Unit load case/combination
Step : Load Steps for material nonlinear analysis
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
Note
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.
