Input
Strength verification results are produced by elements or sectional properties coupled with the maximum stress ratios (combined strength ratios) and the corresponding load combinations.
The user selects the unit system for the strength verification results.
Common Control
: Display the applicable code for strength verification.
Display the strength verification results for the maximum combined stress ratios (combined strength ratios) by elements or properties.
Sorting by Property displays the strength verification results of the element producing the maximum combined stress ratio (combined strength ratio) among the members of the same property.
Once Property is selected, SEL controls all the elements of the same properties.
: Display the unit system selected by the user.
When the strength verification results that accompany the maximum combined stresses (strength) are to be produced by elements, the results are sorted by section numbers or element numbers in an ascending order.
The Select All button : Select all the members
The Unselect All button : Cancel the selection of all the members
The Re-calculation button
Redesign the selected members.
When the redesign is executed from the results displayed by section properties all the elements attributed to the same sections are included.
Check in the option to select and highlight the selected members in Model View.
The [>>] button : Display detail strength verification results
The [<<] button : Display simplified strength verification results
The Graphic... button : Produce the strength verification results in the form of summary calculations for the selected members.
The Detail... button : Produce the strength verification results in the form of detail calculations for the selected members.
The Summary... button : Produce a summary list of strength verification results for the selected members.
When the results are sorted by properties, the member design results are produced for the member with the maximum combined stress (strength).
All : Produce all the strength verification results in the Checking Results dialog box
OK : From the strength verification results, display only the design results that have met the design requirements (OK) in the Checking Results dialog box
NG : From the strength verification results, display only the design results that have not satisfied the design requirements (NG) in the Checking Results dialog box
The Summary by LCB... button : Produce strength verification results for all the load combinations for the selected members.
The Close button : Close the dialog box
