When the results are displayed, there exists several coordinate sytems which users should be aware of to utilize FEA results accordingly. The results can either be displayed with respect to,
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: 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 FESpring 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, |
|
| 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. |

FELine Results
| Info |
|---|
Please follow the instructions provided below to view steel I-girder FELine results. |
| 1 | With the "FEA" view activated; → Select "FELine Forces" or “FELine Stresses” from the drop-down menu. This option allows you to visualize the FELine Forces/Stresses results of the members based on the corresponding analysis results in the form of: i) result cases, |
|
| 2 | Under the FEA tab on the lower left sidebar, select "FELine Forces" for display based on the FEA cases specified by the user. The FELine columns filter option can then be used. |  |
| 3 | 🔎 Viewing results graphically: | |
| 4 | → Set each drop-down menu with your desired form of analysis results, specifically selecting the options that you want to be demonstrated graphically. |
|
| 5 | 🔍 Viewing results numerically: | |
| 6 | → To switch to the "FEA" tab located on the lower-left side, simply click on it. |  |
| 7 | → Upon switching to the "FEA" tab, you will find a variety of FE results listed under the "Results" section of the tree-view. |
|
| 8 | → Navigate to the "FELine Forces (Internal)" option. On the “Data” spreadsheet, the results will be reported for: |
|
| 9 | …for the specific FELine group you are interested in, you can filter the results under FELine column title. |
|
FEComposite Results
| Info |
|---|
Please follow the instructions provided below to view steel I-girder FEComposite results. |
| 1 | With the "FEA" view activated; → Select "Composite Forces" from the drop-down menu. This option allows you to visualize the FEComposite results of the members based on the corresponding analysis results in the form of: i) result cases, |  |
| 2 | …for the specific composite group you are interested in. → After specifying the composite group, click on the "Show" button to display the corresponding results. |  |
| 3 | 🔎 Viewing results graphically: | |
| 4 | → Set each drop-down menu with your desired form of analysis results, specifically selecting the options that you want to be demonstrated graphically. |  |
| 5 | 🔍 Viewing results numerically: | |
| 6 | → To switch to the "FEA" tab located on the lower-left side, simply click on it. | |
| 7 | → Upon switching to the "FEA" tab, you will find a variety of FE results listed under the "Results" section of the tree-view. |  |
| 8 | → Navigate to the "Composite Element Forces (Sectional)" option. On the “Data” spreadsheet, the results will be reported for: |  |
| 9 | …for the specific composite group you are interested in. |  |
