STEP NO. 9
: Analysis & Its Results |
 |
 |
After entering Data & Checking
it thoroughly, Relax, let the software do its Job.
The 1st milestone is Analysis.
When Program starts, the Menu above is
displayed.
Under the Analysis Heading
following options are displayed.
● Analysis
● Results
Now Click on " Analysis " option.
Following Graphics is displayed.
|
 |
 |
Now select " Example _1 File & Press Open
Button.
The Analysis will commence. A window will open & it will indicate number of
Joints, Columns, Beams and Slabs to be analyzed. The Analysis will take time &
will depend up on the file size & computers RAM memory.
Minimum Computer RAM memory of 1 to 2 GB is recommended for faster analysis results.
After the analysis is over a new message will
appear indicating that " Analysis is Successfully Completed ".
|
 |
Now Click the analysis "
Results " option, following graphics will be displayed. |
 |
 |
Now Double Click on " Loads on
Beam " Option. A new window will open displaying various Loads on Beams. Click
on " Read Me " button, following important messages are displayed.
1. UDL is in T / M."
2. RHS_MOM : Right Hand Side Moment is in T-M.
3. LHS_MOM : Left Hand Side Moment is in T-M.
4. Point Load is in Ton."
5. Point Load Could be Externally Applied OR
6. From Reaction of Secondary beam.
7. Dist : is distance of Point Load from Left.
8. NEAR_INT : is Slab Load in T/M Near to LHS of Beam.
9. NEAR_DIST : is Slab Load Distance in M Near to LHS.
10. FAR_INT : is Slab Load in T/M Far from LHS.
11. FAR_DIST : is Slab Load Distance in M Far from LHS.
12. Note that NEAR_INT = FAR_INT, as Slabs are Spanning One Way.

 |
Now Double Click on " FEM & SS
Reactions " Option. A new window will open displaying Fixed End Moments
and Simply Supported Reaction on each Beam. Click on " Read Me " button,
following important messages are displayed.
1. Beam Span in M.
2. LHS SS Reaction : LHS Simply Supported Reaction in Ton.
3. RHS SS Reaction : RHS Simply Supported Reaction in Ton.
4. LFEM : Fixed End Moment at LHS Support in T-M.
5. RFEM : Fixed End Moment at RHS Support in T-M.
6. In order to Sort the Values in Ascending OR
7. Descending Order, Just Click Column Header at
Top.
|
 |
Now Double Click on " Bending
Moments and Reactions " Option. This is the most Important Option. A new window
will open displaying End Moments and Reactions on each Beam. Click on "
Read Me " button, following important messages are displayed.
1. -Ve BM at LHS Support in T-M.
2. -VE BM at RHS Support in T-M.
3. LHS Reaction in Tons.
4. RHS Reaction in Ton.
5. + VE Bending Moment in T-M.
6. Distance of + VE BM from LHS Support in M.
7. In order to Sort the Values in Ascending OR
8. Descending Order, Just Click Column Header at Top.
Shown below is a part Display of Support BM, SF, + Ve BM & Its Distance from
Left. |
|
DISPLAYING BENDING MOMENTS AND REACTIONS |
 |
 |
Note that Column Headers are all the Titles at Top.
Just Click them to Sort.
For
Printing Just Click " Print " Button.
When " OK " button is clicked, following Important Message is displayed. |
 |
 |
The above message describes how
any number of Load Cases can be Run & Manipulated once File is Exported to Excel
Spread Sheet. Note the File Name Carefully.
Similar File is created for " Shear Corrected BM & SF " option.
" Shear
Corrected BM & SF " Option is of little use here, as all beams are
simply supported.
Click on " Read Me " button,
following important messages are displayed.
1. LHS Reaction in Tons.
2. RHS Reaction in Ton.
3. + VE Bending Moment in T-M.
4. Distance of + VE BM from LHS Support in M.
5. Load Case is DL + LL Only.
6. End supports are assumed Hinged.
7. Wind/EQ BM are resisted by Frame/Shear Wall.
8. In order to Sort the Values in Ascending OR" Descending Order,
Just Click Column Header at Top.
9. All the Result Parameters are Un-factored.
|
 |
Now Double Click on " BM at
Every 1 / 10 th of Span " Option. A new window will open displaying
Distance from Left and its BM on each Beam. This display is in two (2) Pages. Click on " Read Me " button,
following important messages are displayed.
1. bm0 = Bending Moment at LHS Support.
2. d0 = Distance zero from LHS Support.
3. bm1 = Bending Moment at a distance d1 M. from LHS Support, and so on.
5. Distances are Multiple of 1 / 10 th of Span.
6. Bending Moments are in T-M.
7. In order to Sort the Values in Ascending OR
8. Descending Order, Just Click Column Header at Top.
|
 |
Now Double Click on " SF at
Every 1 / 10 th of Span " Option. A new window will open displaying
Distance from Left and its SF on each Beam. This display is in two (2) Pages. Click on " Read Me " button,
following important messages are displayed.
1. sf0 = Shear Force at LHS Support.
2. d0 = Distance zero from LHS Support.
3. sf1 = Shear Force at a distance d1
4. M. from LHS Support, and so on.
5. Distances are Multiple of 1 / 10 th of Span.
6. Shear Forces are in T.
7. In order to Sort the Values in Ascending OR Descending Order,
Just Click Column Header at Top.
