However, special attention should be paid to the display of the global total displacement u. This is determined using the following formula:
u = √(uX2 + uY2 + uZ2)
The related resulting deformation for load cases and load combinations is displayed accordingly.
Together with the result combinations, the maximum deformation components of the directions are also calculated. This results in a superposition of deformations from different load cases. The result is shown in the third picture.
The result of the total displacement of the RC does not reflect the overall displacement of the individual load cases or their qualitative distributions. For example, if you consider the calculation of the maximum total displacement u, max = 220 mm, it turns out that it is determined with the maximum deformation in the Z-direction from load case 1 and the maximum deformation in the Y-direction from load case 2.
The total deformation of a structure should, therefore, be evaluated in load cases or load combinations.
