To control the graphical display of member displacements and member rotations related to the global axes X, Y, and Z, select the Global Deformations check box in the Results navigator. Table 4.5 shows the global deformations of members in numerical form.
The Node No. and Location x table columns correspond to the columns of the previous results table 4.4 Members - Local Deformations.
Displacements / Rotations
The member deformations have the following meanings:
|
|u| |
Absolute total displacement (not for result combinations) |
|
uX |
Displacement of member in direction of global axis X |
|
uY |
Displacement of member in direction of global axis Y |
|
uZ |
Displacement of member in direction of global axis Z |
|
φX |
Rotation of member about global axis X |
|
φY |
Rotation of member about global axis Y |
|
φZ |
Rotation of member about global axis Z |
