No results for moving load

[antonio.lafuente]

Hi again 

I'm still struggling with the same model. For some reason I cannot plot the results for the movable load. It would seem as if some setting had been changed inadvertently because I'm almost sure of having seen it.  Even if I redo the model from a previous version I end up with the same issue. Could someone have a look? I attach the model again.

Also what are the + and - load cases created from default?

Many thanks in advance

Antonio

Hi @antonio.lafuente

Mind the distance when you decide on manual selection of elements to apply load to.

Additionaly , + and - are envelope load cases

[antonio.lafuente]

I see, but what exactly does that mean? Are they envelope cases for stress, displacement,....

Cheers

Hi @antonio.lafuente

These are the filters to display the top and bottom envelopes of the selected type of results (e.g. stresses or displacements) from all positions of the vehicle.

hi @antonio.lafuente ,

 the + and - envelopes are obtained by determining the arrangement of live loads that produce the maximum and minimum effects (respectively) on your structure. These will give you maximum and minimum stresses (moments, shear etc) at the points of interest on your structure.
