Deflection

[Anonymous]

Hi ppz

I have analysed 3d model (using BS5950 code) on robot 2013 version. I have encountered the nodal deflection quite unually higher than the rest of the portal frame.

The portal frame is a transfer structure i have attached screen shot of my queries below. Thanks in advance for any help.

The values on the displayed diagrams are the total displacements of the nodes and it is rather difficult to convert them to the deflections in the direction perpendicular to bars not knowing the values of the components in each direction. You may find it much easier to open the deflection table.
