Tie Types...

The types of steel ties defined earlier are assigned to the every element of a strut-tie model. After conducting a finite element analysis of strut-tie model, the elements with tensile cross-sectional forces must be recognized as the steel ties.

Element Information

The information on the elements of truss model (strut-tie model) is displayed by this function. The information includes the node numbers at both ends of element (start node, end node), assumed available widths at both ends of element (i-width, j-width), area type, and tie type. The information on the assumed available widths can be modified by this function.
