Result Tables

Set the Steel Design category in the list again. The 'Not Valid / Deactivated' table is displayed. It gives an overview of the sections and materials that were not considered during the steel design.

Table "Not Valid / Deactivated"

To check the specific design results of each member, use the categories in the toolbar list. Each category has a set of tables assigned.

Categories for Design Results

Design Ratios on Members

Select the Design Ratios on Members category (1). The design ratios of each member are listed by different criteria in several table sheets. Set the Design Ratios by Section table (2).

Table "Design Ratios by Section"

This table displays the maximum results of each section. The values listed in the 'Design Check Ratio' column represent the ratios of the existing design values to the respective design resistances. For example, 'FF5110.00' represents the member check for compression flange buckling according to AISC 360-22, section F3.
Select this line within the W 8x31 results (3). The highest ratio of that design type for this section was calculated for the frame girder (member no. 4). The location x is marked by an arrow in the graphics.

To examine the design details of this check, click the button on the table toolbar (4). The 'Design Check Details' window opens.

Design Check Details for Compression Flange Buckling

This window presents all parameters of the design and the relevant equations. By clicking the button in the bottom-right area, you can switch between values or symbols displayed in the formulas of the design.

When you open the 'Section Classification' tree item, you can also check the classification of the W section.

To show the results diagram of the section, click the button on the toolbar.

Results Diagrams in Section

Using the list button, you can also display the stresses or strains of the frame girder section. Click Close to quit this window.

To check the shear strength of this member, select the GG6100 option from the 'Design check' list.

Shear Strength of Frame Girder

Return to the tables by clicking Close.

The highest overall ratio of the stability design is for the W 8x18 section. Select this line.

Lateral Torsional Buckling Check for Platform Girders

Click the button on the table toolbar to open the 'Design Check Details' window again.

Printing Design Check Details

You can examine the design check values again, such as the elastic critical moment, slenderness etc.

To print the details, click the button next to the button. Select the Print Graphics to Printout Report option. The equations of this design check are exported to the report without opening it.

Return to the tables by clicking Close.

Governing Results

On the table toolbar, select the Governing Results category (see the Categories for design results image). The internal forces and governing loading of each member are listed in several tables. The Internal Forces by Member table is preset.

Table "Internal Forces by Member"

In this table, the internal forces relevant to the different types design are listed for every member. The governing forces or moments are labelled are labelled by symbols. You can also examine which load combination yields the internal forces that are relevant to each design type.
