Deformation Table

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
