When the results are deisplayed, there exists several coordinate sytems which users should be aware of to utilize FEA as precise as possible.

The results can either be displayed with respect to,

  • Global Coordinate System:

  • Local Coordinate System: This system can be defined as follows: the X-axis is aligned with the PGL/Alignment direction, the Y-axis is perpendicular to the PGL/Alignment, and the Z-axis represents the elevation.

Although nodes and springs are generated with respect to the Local Coordinate System, various adjustments can cause differences in axis definitions. For bearings, the ‘Bearing Rotation’ parameter functions as illustrated below.

Deformed Shape

Info

Please follow the instructions provided below to view steel I-girder FEA deformed shape.

...

1

→ To switch to the "FEA" tab located on the lower-left side, simply click on it.

2

Upon switching to the "FEA" tab, you will find a variety of FE results listed under the "Results" section of the tree-view.

3

→ Navigate to the "Node Reactions" option, either under the "Local" or "Global" category, based on your specific requirement.

On the “Data” spreadsheet, the results will be reported for:
i) result cases,
ii) construction stages
iii) result combinations/envelopes

To investigate the node reactions for a specific loading, you can utilize either the tabs and tree-view items in the spreadsheet,…

4

…or the drop-down menu. Both options allow you to navigate and explore the desired node reactions for the selected loading.

FESpring Results

Info

Please follow the instructions provided below to view steel I-girder FEComposite results.

1

Under the FEA tab on the lower left sidebar:

→ Select "Element End Forces (External Local/Global)" from the tree view. This option allows you to visualize the FESpring results (displaying two nodes results for two-node springs) of the members based on the corresponding analysis results in the form of:

i) result cases,
ii) construction stages,
iii) result combinations/envelopes.

2

After specifying the result case, construction stage, or result combination for which the results will be displayed, you can use the ‘Element’ columns filtering option.

3

→ By using the pop-up window to set the filtering options, the results of springs will be visible in terms of Forces (X/Y/Z) and Moments (X/Y/Z) when such definitions, as illustrated in the image next to this row, are applied.
