load and excentricity

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Using the load excentricity tool, I would like to do two things :

- create a node on the point where the load is applied (at its real position or its projected position on the beam). On the exemple joined, I checked the box "génération du noeud de calcul..." one time ; the other time, I didn't checked it. Both time the result is the same : I haven't any new node created.

Should it be not possible to do so, how showing the dimension between the axis of the beam and the point where we see the load is applied ?

- have the excentricity shown in the same time that its intensity (see the capture joined)

Thanks for your help

a calculation node is not a physical node.It´s justa a node for internal calculations. See attached pic. It will only show up after the model is generated and only if you set it to appear on Display dialog window

Hi,

Thank's for your answear.

I assume there isn't any possibility to show the distances as drawn on the attached picture (d7 and d10) ?

I guess not automatically, but you can always use tools/dimensions lines ,if you really need to show the distance. See attached pic (it won´t snap, You have to input the coordinates manually)

The Loads table also shows the load eccentricity (DY)

FZ=-10.00(kN) X=0.50 relativa DY=300.00(cm) DZ=0.0(cm)
