Explanation
Create analysis line
Create a analysis line that has different section at the start and end points.
[Select Member]
Property Reference : Select the member object to use as a reference for the material and structure information. Only one member can be selected.
Sectioning Reference : Selected the member object to use the section. Multiple members can be selected.
For Analysis Line, when entering Analysis Mode, reference property information from the Reference and obtain a section. In other words, if a member selected as a property reference or a sectioning reference is changed, deleted, or moved after creating an analysis line, the analysis model is created using the information at the time of entering the analysis mode, not the information at the time of creation.
[Draw / Select Edge]
By Draw : Select the Analysis Line creation method. Draw a line to create an Analysis Line with the shape of that line.
By Select : Select the Analysis Line creation method. Select an Edge to create an Analysis Line to overlap that Edge.
[Analysis Line Table]
Name Row: Displays the name assigned to the analysis line.
Reverse Direction Checkbox Row : When set to On, the start and end points of the analysis line that the user created change positions.
Tapered Section Checkbox Row : When set to On, the start and end points of the analysis line that the user created change positions.
Sectioning Offset (S) Row : Sets the point at which to obtain the section to be placed at the endpoint of the analysis line.
Sectioning Offset (E) Row : Sets the point at which to obtain the section to be placed at the start point of the analysis line.
If the user creates an Analysis Line for the following members:
If the Taped Section check box is set to Off, place the section acquired at the Start Plane acquisition point on the Analysis Line at the start point of the analysis line, and place the section acquired at the End Plane acquisition point at the end point of the analysis line to create an analysis model. This creates the following analytical model:
When the Taped Section check box is set to Off, the section acquired from the Start Plane section acquisition point of the Analysis Line is placed throughout the analysis line to create an analysis model. For example models, the bottom section is the starting section because it is an Analysis Line created from the bottom up. So the cross-section acquired from the bottom is placed throughout the analysis line. If the Reverse Direction option is set to On, the top section will be placed across the analysis line to create an analysis model.
Specify the starting point of the analysis line as the starting point of the analysis line, and the point away from the end point of the analysis line by the length entered in Sectioning Offset (S). In addition, point from the end point of the analysis line to the start point of the analysis line by the length entered in Sectioning Offset (E) is designated as the end point.
Create an analysis member by drawing a plane perpendicular to the analysis line at each acquisition point and placing the plane and the intersection with the Sectioning Ref objects at the start and end points of the analysis line, respectively.
When the Taped Section check box is set to Off, only the Sectioning Offset (S) input box is activated, and the cross-section acquired at that point is placed across the analysis line to create an analysis member.
If the user creates an Analysis Line for the following components and enter 2m in the Sectioning Offset (S) input box and 1m in the Sectioning Offset (E) input box,
First, obtain the cross-section of the Sectioning Ref object cut at a point as far as the Offset length entered as shown below.
The acquired section is then placed at the start and end points of the analysis line to create a sky blue-like shape below and use it as a member for analysis.
