Specify Parameters for Automatic Determination of Imperfections
Set parameters for automatic determination of imperfections
The dialog box for defining a buckling mode contains the Tabs Base, Buckling Mode, and Assignment. In the settings for automatic determination, 10 modes to be investigated and the definition type "Relative" are specified. The Parameter Precamber is given as e₀/L = 1/300,000. The graphic shows the imperfection shape between nodes i and j over the length L with the horizontal deflection e₀ as well as the local axes x, y/z and u/v.
