Setting

Description

Operating Mode

Select the operating mode for result display

Maximum - displays the maximum value from all operating modes in each cell

View analysis results for force-based loadings, seismic, wind, and ice loading conditions

Submode

PASS/START-PROF calculates multiple submodes (piping states) for each operating mode

• Maximum - displays maximum absolute displacement values for each axis across all states (Operation state, Cold state, Test state)

• Maximum and minimum - displays maximum and minimum displacement values for all axes across all states (Operation state, Cold state, Test state)

• Operation state

• Cold state

• Test state

For detailed information, see load combinations.

Occasional Loads

• Maximum + Seismic - includes seismic load cases

• Maximum and minimum + Seismic

Coordinate System

Linear and rotational displacements are displayed as projections on coordinate systems:

• Global coordinate system (X, Y, Z) - Δ_X, Δ_Y, Δ_Z, φ_X, φ_Y, φ_Z (fig. 1.a)

• Local restraint coordinate system (Xmm, Ymm, Zmm) - projections on horizontal plane Δ_Xmm, Δ_Ymm, Δ_Zmm, φ_Xmm, φ_Ymm, φ_Zmm

• Local element coordinate system (Xm, Ym, Zm) - Δ_Xm, Δ_Ym, Δ_Zm, φ_Xm, φ_Ym, φ_Zm (fig. 1.b)

Displacement Type

Filter display to show linear displacements only, rotational displacements only, or both

Element Filter

Display displacements for all nodes, or filter to show only supports and hangers, only valves, or only bends
