Function
- Plot graphs for member shear vs. displacement or member shear vs. displacement ratio to represent the pushover analysis results.
Note
In order to use this function, the Story Shear Force Ratio of Member should be checked on in Model > Building > Control Data of the Main Menu.(default=Check On)
Call
From the Main Menu select [Pushover] tab > [Pushover Results] group > [Pushover Graph] > [Member Shear Graph]
Input
This graph can be plotted to check the member shear vs. displacement curve or the member shear vs. displacement ratio curve when the pushover analysis is completed.
Pushover Load Case
Select a pushover load case, which was applied to analysis.
Type of Result
Member shear vs. Displacement or Member shear vs. Displacement ratio (Multiple selections are possible)
Element
Enter an element number to select the element to be checked. (User input or Selection)
Type of Display
Assign decimal points to be displayed on the axes (including exponentials).
Right click on the graph displayed on the screen to prompt the Context Menu. Using the Context Menu, various graphs can be expressed and data and images can be saved.
Change Title & Label
The title and subtitles to the x & y-axes may be changed.
Draw Gray & Color Graph
Draw the graph in gray or in color. (Default=Color Graph)
Save Graph As Image
Save the graph in the graphic file format of BMP, JPG or EMF. (default=BMP image)
Save Graph As Text
Save the graph in the format of a text file.
Save Graph As Excel
Export the graph data in the format of Excel Sheet.
