To define the bearing results for forces and moments in all directions to be shared, this object can be utilized. For this object to function properly, users must ensure that the FEA has been run for the model.

General

Bearing: Specify the related bearing.

Extract From [Result Case: Specify a case for which the bearing results will be extracted and shared.

Bearing: Specify the related bearing.

/ Load Combination Table]: This parameter can be specified using the options provided: either Result Case or Load Combination Table. Further definitions can be made for the parameters by selecting Result Case or Load Combination Table.

Result Case: If the parameter Extract From is defined with the option Result Case, this parameter can be used to further define the specific case from which the specified bearing forces will be extracted for sharing. If Extract From is defined with the option Load Combination Table, this parameter will not be applicable (N/A).

Load Combination Table: If the parameter Extract From is defined with the option Load Combination Table, this parameter can be used to further define the Load Combination Table from which the specified bearing forces will be extracted for sharing. If Extract From is defined with the option Result Case, this parameter will not be applicable (N/A).

Limit State: Users can specify the limit state based on which the results will be extracted. This parameter can only be specified if the Extract From parameter is defined with the option Load Combination Table.

Force Extraction Settings

Maximize for: Users can choose to maximize the results for all forces and moments (Fx, Fy, Fz, Mx, My, and Mz, ) or for a specific one individually, by defining this parameter with the provided options that become component individually. This parameter can be defined using the options visible in the pop-up window when the 'Select' option is chosen.

Min/Max [Abs. maxMax/Max/Min]: Maximum represents positive values, minimum Minimum represents negative values, and absolute maximum Absolute Maximum refers to the largest value in by magnitude, whether positive or negative.

Set Max Target [Self/Target]: The bearing result can be extracted by filtering to display either the maximum result of the bearing itself or the maximum result obtained for a specified target.

Max Target [Bottom of Column/Top of Pile Layout]: If the Set Max Target parameter is defined with the option Target, this parameter can be used to specify the target as either Bottom of Column or Top of Pile Layout.

Column: If the Max Target parameter is set to Bottom of Column, this parameter can be used to specify the related column.

Pile Layout: If the Max Target parameter is set to Top of Pile Layout, this parameter can be used to specify the related pile layout.

Pile Layout Pile Index: For the specified pile layout, this parameter can be used to define the specific index.

Extracted Forces

This tab displays the specified results along with details of the cases/load combination tables, force settings, and the date and time of the result extraction.

Extracted From: The specified result case or load combination table is displayed in this column.

Force Settings: Details of the extracted forces are displayed in this column.

Last Result Extraction: The date and time of the last result extraction are displayed in this column.

Fx: Read-only value for representing the reaction force of the bearing along the X-axis.

Fy: Read-only value for representing the reaction force of the bearing along the Y-axis.

Fz: Read-only value for representing the reaction force of the bearing along the Z-axis.

Mx: Read-only value for representing the moment of the bearing around the X-axis.

My: Read-only value for representing the moment of the bearing around the Y-axis.

Mz: Read-only value for representing the moment of the bearing around the Z-axis.

Coordinate System: The coordinate system for which the results are displayed is shown in this column.
