Forces in Walls

[davidgholmes]

Hello!

I am modelling a structure in 3D and would like to check the forces in the core walls. Normally, you can simply look at the reactions, but I am supporting the walls on a raft foundation. Is there a way of checking the load under the wall being transmitted to the raft?

Thanks

David

Try to look at the reduced results for panels or panel cuts.

Ok, thanks.

Not sure how you can extract the axial force below the wall though?

Thanks Artur,

I can get the tabulated reduced results for the panels, but is there a way to display these grapically so I know where the different values correspond to?

Please check http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Robot-Structural/Redused-results-for-panels-vs-Core-walls/m-p... (message 10). Use Panel cuts - reduced forces.

Just to make sure I answered the right question: if by the axial force you mean the vertical one then in a wall then it is NRx. If you mean the axial in the wall foundation (horizontal along the the wall) then it is TRy.
