Overview

The Overview table result category provides a summary of the calculation. In the table title bar, you can switch between the results of load cases and combinations.

Summary

In the 'Summary' tab, you can find the check sums of loads and support forces. The deviations in each direction should be less than 1%. If this is not the case, there are numerical problems due to considerable differences in stiffness. It is also possible that the model has insufficient stability, or that the calculation has reached the maximum number of iterations without converging.

The resulting support reactions are effective in an idealized way in the model's center.

The summary also lists the maximum displacements and rotations related to the global axes X, Y, and Z, as well as the largest total displacement. This way, you can assess the reliability of the results.

In the calculation statistic, you will find the number of iterations required for the calculation. The summary ends with the static analysis settings of the load case or combination.

Calculation Diagrams

The 'Calculation Diagrams' tab is available once you have defined the criteria for one or more Calculation Diagrams.

Table "Calculation Diagrams"

The results of the individual load steps ('Increment') are listed for each calculation diagram. The number of iterations that were required for each increment are also shown.

Use the button available in the 'Options' table to check the parameters of any calculation diagram. The Calculation Diagram dialog box appears. There, the calculation diagram is also shown graphically.
