The result tables in the Design Ratios on Beam Panels | Beams category contain the result data for the design checks of the frame sections and studs of beam panels with the respective design ratios.
The results for beam panels and beams are sorted in the tabs according to the following criteria:
- Loads (design situations, load combinations)
- Member properties (materials, cross-sections)
- Objects (beam panels, members, member locations x)
Beam Panel Surface No.
Each beam panel is assigned a surface. The number of this surface is specified here.
Member No.
For each design criterion, the number of the generated member with the highest design ratio is specified.
You can activate the display of the numbers of the generated objects in the Navigator – Display using the option Model → Basic Objects → Surfaces → Beam Panels to activate the display. As an alternative, use the
button in the toolbar.
Beam Type
This section describes the location of the member:
- Horizontal member at the top edge (-y) or bottom edge (+y) of the plate (see Beam Panels | Beams)
- Vertical member at the left edge (-x) or right edge (+x) of the plate (see Beam Panels | Beams)
- Inner stud: Studs within the plate
Location x
The x-location within the member for which the maximum design ratio was determined is specified. The following x-locations are relevant for output in tables:
- Start and end nodes
- Member result intermediate points (if defined)
- Member division according to mesh settings for members
- Extreme values of the internal forces
Stress Point No.
The design is performed at stress points of the cross-section. These points are defined by the coordinates of the centroidal distances. All standard cross-sections in the library are provided with stress points at the locations relevant for design.
Design Situation
This column lists the numbers of the design situations for which the individual design ratios are available.
Loading
The numbers of the load or result combinations that are governing for the respective design checks are specified.
Design Check Ratio
This column lists the design conditions according to the standard. The degree of the respective design ratio is indicated by the length of the colored bar.
Design Check Type
Each design is identified by a numeric code. For example, the serviceability design checks are identified by the code “SE”. The type of design check is explained in the Description column.
Design Check Formula
You can enable this column in the Result Table Manager. It lists the equations from the standard according to which the design checks are performed.
Description
Each design check is explained with a brief description that refers to the relevant chapter in the standard.
You can display the design check details for a specific design ratio by clicking the
button or double-clicking on the row.
Filtering Results
The chapter Design Ratios on Members describes how to filter the results by limit state and by design ratio.
