Story Displacement Table – MIDAS Support

Function

Check the lateral displacements of the stories due to static and dynamic loads in a spreadsheet format table.
When "Consider Story Module?of "Story Shear Force Ratio" is checked in the "Model/Building/Control Data", accurate shear forces can be obtained for the story with the overlapping Module.
When Modules are defined in Structure > Building > Story > Define Module button, the Module data is displayed in the first column of the table.
Table Tool in Gen NX 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 : Analysis Result] > [Table] group > [Story Tables] > [Story Displacement Table]

Input

Upon executing the Story > Story Displacement 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:

When Modules are not defined

Displacement (X) : Lateral displacement in GCS X-direction (Click lower left tab)

Displacement (Y) : Lateral displacement in GCS Y-direction (Click lower left tab)

Displacement (Combined) : Combined lateral displacement (Click lower left tab)

Load : Unit load case/combination

Node : Node number

Story : Story ID

Level : Story Elevation

Story Height : Story Height

Displacement : Lateral displacement

When Modules are defined

The Module column is generated only when the Modules are defined. Story displacements are calculated using the same method explained before.

Module : Module name is defined in Structure > Building > Story > Define Module button
