Ready. Select a workbook, choose the truss checkbox only for truss files, and keep NE = 1 for truss analysis.
C: Slope Deflection Method (Beam/Frame)
Solve continuous beams and rectangular frames using the Slope Deflection Method (SDM),
with a maximum of one degree of sidesway and inextensible members.
Classification: ———
Unknowns: ———
Sidesway: ———
Solved: ———
Max |M|: ———
Select a beam/frame workbook in Section A to enable Section C.
D: Unit Load Method/Force Method (Truss)
D1. Compute displacement at Node/Direction for TRUSS using Unit Load Method (ULM), or
D2. Compute redundant support reaction at Node/Direction for TRUSS using Force Method (FM).
Unit Load Method: Δ = ———
Force Method: Δ = ———, δ = ———,
Redundant: R = ———
This tab uses the workbook selected in Section A. Reports and any larger output open in separate windows.
E: Unit Load Method/Force Method (Beam/Frame)
E1. Compute displacement at Node/Direction for BEAM/FRAME using Unit Load Method (ULM), or
E2. Compute redundant reaction at Node/Direction for BEAM/FRAME using Force Method (FM).
Unit Load Method: Δ = ———
Force Method: Δ = ———, δ = ———,
Redundant: R = ———
Use the same workbook selected in Section A. Detailed outputs open independently.
