After the calculation, the results are sorted according to various criteria in tables. They are also shown in graphics of the work window on the model. The “Navigator – Results” is adapted to the stress-strain analysis so that you can control the graphic display of stresses and stress ratios for members, surfaces, and line welds, as well as surface strains, if necessary.
You can also display the Result Details with the intermediate values and design check formulas. Furthermore, you have the option to display the Stress Diagrams in Section of members.
The following subchapters describe various options you have for displaying and evaluating the results. The chapter Documentation describes how to prepare the analysis results for the printout.
Objects with No Results
If no results of a member or a surface are 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.
- The results are hidden due to the filter settings.
Check the visibilities and the filter settings for the graphical results in the Control Panel and 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 display only the visible or selected objects. However, in the Result Details dialog box, all results are available – regardless of the filter settings and selections.
Use the Overview result tables to check the designed objects. If an object is not valid due to the material or cross-section properties, it is listed in the Not Valid / Deactivated result table.
Also, check the Objects to Analyze – Stresses input table to see if all objects are selected for the analysis. Moreover, 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 the chapter Stress-Strain Analysis).
