Performance criteria capability
Posted: 22 Oct 2018, 06:47
Good morning,
I am Interesting in finding out the stages at which hinging at beam ends and column hinging at top and bottom occurs under IDA. For which I have set reinforcement yielding as limit in performance criteria. In Analysis output I can see the stages at which a particular performance criteria has reached along with the name of a member ( Reinforcement_Yielding reached. Elm: C1. Reinf. Steel Strain = 0.00277844 - Sec(a)). Is there any way to find out in which particular zone of a member the performance criteria has reached ( where in C1) ? Unfortunately due to size of file I had uncheck some of the nodes and I cannot view them in deformed shaped viewer. In a nutshell what does "sec(a)" refer to in analysis output ?
Regards
