ANALYSIS

Run Analysis

The executive files for the finite element analyses for ESO, Stress Flow, Truss, and Nodal Zone are activated by this command. During the execution, nothing can be inputted.

Run Optimized STM Analysis

The executive files for the optimized STM analysis is activated by this command. Stress flow analysis is performed first to find the optimized STM, model, and truss analysis is performed repeatedly until the optimized analysis results are found. During the execution, nothing can be inputted.

Stop Analysis

Stop the ongoing analysis.

Anlysis & Print Options...

The problem type, peak strain of concrete and number of incremental load steps for the finite element material nonlinear analysis of a nodal zone, elimination ratio for the evolutionary structural optimization of a concrete member, and maximum memory for finite element analysis are set by this function. The printing options including the convergence ratio in the iterative finite element analysis of a strut-tie model for determining the cross-sectional areas of struts and ties are set, too. More structural analysis time is required with larger incremental load steps or smaller elimination ratio.
