Checking Horizontal Deformations

To control the lateral displacements of a model, you can use the RF-/LIMITS add‑on module. This add‑on module allows you to, for example, run a serviceability limit state analysis to find horizontal nodal deformations and to set it against a limit value.

For a two-story building, the lateral displacements of both the roof level and the intermediate level are analyzed. To do this, two limits with the conditions H/300 and Hi/300 are created.

Having defined the limits for the displacement in the X- and Y‑directions, select the nodes for the check. The displacements are compared to the calculation of the defined limits.

The ratio shows whether the allowable displacements were met or not.
