LC1

yes, if Result for = Load case

Reference to the name of StructuraLoadCase

Load combination

String

COM1

yes, if Result for = Combination

Reference to the name of StructuralLoadCombination

Combination key

String

1.35*LC1+1.5*LC2+1.5*LC3+1.5*LC4

no

Allows to define exact combination per result section

Structure of string:
”LoadFactor1*LoadCase1+LoadFactor2*LoadCase2

+LoadFactorN*LoadCaseN”

For envelopes and national standard (code) combinations, this column specifies for which exact combination is the result

Section at [m]

Double

0.100

yes

X coordinate on the beam (distance from the start node) where the result is located

Index

Integer

1

yes

Index of the section on beam. See notes.

N [kN]

Double

3.00

yes

Result value of N

(Normal force)

Vy [kN]

Double

3.00

yes

Result value of Vy

(Shear force in Y axis direction)

Vz [kN]

Double

3.00

yes

Result value of Vz

(Shear force in Z axis direction)

Mx [kNm]

Double

0.000

yes

Result value of Mx

(Moment around X axis)

My [kNm]

Double

4.500

yes

Result value of My

(Moment around Y axis)

Mz [kNm]

Double

4.500

yes

Result value of Mz (Moment around Z axis)

Notes

Multiple tables in one sheet

The amount of data can be limited due the limitation of xlsx format.

Therefore the results can be written to SAF in a form of multiple tables. In the similiar logic as the StructuralProxyElement.

Index

This attribute defines an order of the section on the beam, starting with 1 and increasing from the start to the end of the beam. This property helps to specify if the internal force is on the “left” or on the right side of the section.

See example below:

Hint

See the index 6 and 7. One section, two values for normal (N) force.
Section with lower index (6) identifies value on the left (closer to the origin of X-axis of the beam).
Section with a higher index (7) identifies value on the right (further from the origin of X-axis of the beam).
