Function
- Check the deformations of inelastic hinges (Lumped, Distributed, Spring, and Truss Type) resulting from the time history analysis with the time step, in a spreadsheet format 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 : Time History Analysis] > [Table] group > [Result Tables] > [Inelastic Hinge] > [Deformation Table]
Input
Upon executing the Inelastic Hinge > Deformation Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click OK Button after selecting time history loading conditions for output.
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
Hinge Location : Locations where inelastic hinges are assigned. For Lumped Type, it displays as i, j, i & j, FX. For Distributed Type, it displays according to the number of hinges.
Inelastic Hinge Prop. : Inelastic hinge property number
Load : Time history load case
Deformation : Maximum deformation till the analysis time elapses
Time : Time at which the maximum deformation occurs
Elem : Element number
Inelastic Hinge Prop. : Inelastic hinge property number
Load : Time history load case
Deformation : Maximum deformation till the analysis time elapses
Time : Time at which the maximum deformation occurs
General Link
No : General spring element number
Prop : Property number of general spring element
Node1 : Node i number of spring
Node2 : Node j number of spring
Inelastic Hinge Prop. : Inelastic hinge property number
Load : Time history load case
Deformation : Maximum deformation till the analysis time elapses
Time : Time at which the maximum deformation occurs
