During the design, how can we show the failure members in different
color? select>by spec>all failed beams
2. Explain: Translational repeat > Generation flags
All-geom,prop,load,support,design parameters etc
Geom only,geom and prop only
3. Explain: Member release
Generally, all fx,fy,fz,mx,my,mz is transferred to next
beam via nodez, if we hav to block any of those forces
separately. We hav to mention that using member release
4. Explain: Member Truss
Command>member spec> truss
cant handle bending/ torsion/ shear load
5. Explain the application of BEAVA page253
Traffic Lanes, critical location of udl/knife load/vehicle load,
Asociated load value(influence surfaz)
6. Explain: Response Spectrum
Dynmic to analyse the structure for seismic loading. We calculate
joint displacement.member forces and support reactions. Can
use sqr root of the sum of sqrz, 10 % or absolute method to
derive the result. The result along static is considered before
design.load can b +ve or ve to consider seismic reversibility.
7. Explain Surcharge for loading in isolated foundation design.
8. Explain: Combined footing > Fixed left / right overhang
Left/right over hang value will be fixed or else it will be designed
as per requirement
9. Explain: Mat foundation > Add Meshing Regions
Mat foundation job>mesh generation>add mesh region
1. Using polylines
2. Add rectangular
3. Add circular region
4. Regular polygon

Enforced= fixed, but for plates/solids will provide support

displacement
inclined offer restrains in an axis inclined with global axis. for
that we need a reference point
Explain: Soil Subgrade modulus
Unit for Moment of Intertia=length^4
Concrete design parameters > Width & Depth
Width=width to be used=ZD in membr prop (page 131)
Depth=depth = YD
Explain: Optimization in FEM
Explain: Isolated foundation > Design type
2 types. Calculate dimension and set dimension
Calculate- will design the least possible size meeting the
specified loads ( in the range we entered)
Set dimension: one dimension is fixed and the other is designed
fixed width(length will be optimized), fixed length
Explain: Pile in pile cap
Explain: Section force
(125) prints mmbr forzz at d intermediate sections provided with
a previously defined command. Results are tabulated using load
cases
Explain: Time History Analysis
Advanced dynamic analysis. ability to incorporate harmonic
forcing functions that can be described by sinusoidal with a
specified arrival time , frequency and amplitude and duration.
Time-history analysis provides for linear or nonlinear evaluation
of dynamic structural response under loading which may vary
according to the specified time function. Dynamic equilibrium
equations, given by K u(t) + C d/dt u(t) + M d2/dt u(t) = r(t),
are solved using either modal or direct-integration methods.
