Function
- Check the member forces 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] > [Force Table]
Input
Upon executing the Inelastic Hinge > Force Table function, Records Activation Dialog prompts. Click OK Button after selecting time history loading conditions for output. Clicking OK Button will display the forces for all the loading conditions, and it may take long depending upon cases.
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
Force : Maximum force until the analysis time elapses
Time : Time at which the maximum member force occurs
