A calculation diagram shows the distribution of a specific result during the calculation. A typical application case is the graphical display of the convergence curve in an iterative calculation.
You can also check this diagram in more detail after the calculation. Moreover, you can create user-defined calculation diagrams (CD) that display the convergence behavior on specific nodes of members, surfaces or supports.
Entering in RFEM and RSTAB
In the "New Calculation Diagram" dialog box, you can define the criteria for displaying the results in the diagram. You can freely define the layout of the vertical and horizontal axes of the calculation diagram. In this way, you can graphically evaluate the deformation of a particular node during the calculation, for example.
The diagram is displayed as soon as the results of the load case or load combination are available. When you change a criterion, the graphic is updated automatically.
