Call
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Beam] > [Force & Stress Table]
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Beam] > [Force Table]
From the Main Menu select [Results] tab > [Type : Analysis Result] > [Tables] group > [Result Tables] > [Beam] > [Stress Table]
Input
(Refer to "Beam Forces/Moments", "Beam Stresses")
Upon executing the Beam > Force & Stress Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click 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
Stage : Construction stage
Step : Sub-stage
Beam Force
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
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) : Bending stress due to moment about the element's local z-axis
Bend(-y) : Bending stress due to moment about the element's local z-axis
Bend(+z) : Bending stress due to moment about the element's local y-axis
Bend(-z) : Bending stress due to moment about the element's local y-axis
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)
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.
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)
