After the calculation, the results are sorted according to various criteria in Tables. They are also displayed in Graphic of the work window on the model. The 'Navigator - Results' is tailored to the stress-strain analysis, so you can control the graphical display of stresses and stress ratios for members, surfaces, and line welds, as well as surface strains, as needed.
You can also display the Design Details with the intermediate values and design formulas. Furthermore, you have the option to display the stress distribution in the cross-section of members.
The following subchapters describe various options that you have for displaying and evaluating results. Chapter Documentation describes how to prepare the analysis results for printout.
Objects with No Results
If there are no results of a member or a surface displayed, it may be caused by the following:
- The object is not selected for analysis in the Objects to Analyze - Stresses or Objects to Analyze - Stress Ranges table.
- Results are hidden due to filter settings.
Check the visibilities and the filter settings for the graphical results in the Control Panel as well as in the result value filter. If the result is missing in the result table, check the selected filter settings in the Result Table Manager. Also, pay attention to the selected settings for synchronization with the graphic; for example, it is possible to only display the visible or selected objects. However, in the Design Details dialog box, all results are available – regardless of filter settings and selections.
To check the designed objects, it is suitable to use the table result category Overview: If an object is not valid due to the material or cross-section properties, it is shown in the Not Valid/Deactivated result table.
Also, check in the Objects to Analyze - Stresses input table to see if all objects are selected for the analysis. Also, pay attention to the correct assignment of the stress-strain configurations to the objects. If no configuration is assigned to an object, no analysis is carried out for the object (see Chapter Stress-Strain Analysis).
