Joint Displacements & Reactions
This list summarizes the extreme joint displacements and support reactions.
For each joint there is a four-line result display. The first line shows the joint label and the maximum values for each displacement and reaction direction. The second line indicates the load combinations that create the maximum values. The third line indicates the minimum (most negative) values for each displacement and reaction direction. The fourth line indicates the load combinations that create the minimum values.
Member Forces
This table summarizes the extreme forces that occur anywhere along the length of each member. (The detailed forces ALONG the length of the member are given in another list within this Results section.)
For each member there is a four-line result display. The first line shows the member label and the maximum member force values that occur anywhere along the length of the member. The second line indicates the load combinations that create the maximum values. The third line indicates the minimum (most negative) member force values that occur anywhere along the length of the member. The fourth line indicates the load combinations that create the minimum values.
Stress Checks
The Stress Checks tab is only displayed when the Member Stress Check Status item on the General tab has been set to ASD or LRFD stress checks.
For each member this list shows the following information:
•member label
•section or group label
•material
•governing load combination that results in the maximum Axial plus Bending stress ratio
•maximum stress ratio for the Axial plus Bending check
•pass/fail status for the Axial plus Bending check
•location along the member length where the critical Axial plus Bending result was found to occur
•governing load combination that results in the maximum Shear stress ratio
•maximum stress ratio for the Shear check
•pass/fail status for the Shear check
•location along the member length where the critical Shear result was found to occur.
