Panel Results Maps Confusion

[DonBAE]

1. Am I reading this graphic correctly, Mxx is the moment about the YY axis and Myy is the moment about the XX axis?

2. Under the complex tab there are options for Top/Bottom Reinf and Tensile/Compressive Reinf. the check box headings for these are x and y, are these supposed to xx and yy to match the detailed result orientation or are these relative to global x and y?

3. There appears to be an interface bug where after choosing the "with description" option the description positions will automatically choose indicated graphically anytime I pick any option and click apply then click back in the model window, this is rather annoying. (this setting keeps changing on it's own with no interaction from the user)

4. on the principal tab the online documentation indicates selecting "angle" will add a column to choose the angle to report results against, no such column is added?

HI @DonBAE

For shells moment naming corresponds to stress naming (tensor convention) not to axes like for beams.

Mxx is the moment which produces Sxx stresses (see your updated screenshot - stress naming PNG)

Sxx is the stress in x direction(x in that case means main direction set for shell results presentation) on wall (shell intersection) perpendicular to this x (main) direction.

See maps results direction - setting PNG

In case of reinforcement presentation x corresponds to main direction set for reinforcement design (in reinforcement parameters  dialog) y is perpendicular to main reinforcement direction set in this dialog.

See reinforcement direction setting.PNG

When you activate with description option program opens possibility of picking additional points on panel for results presentation. To avoid that you can deactivate maps dialog - click right mouse button on graphical viewer and choose Select from context menu or activate other opened dialog.

I guess that your question regards results in tables. It seems correctly. Dialog for table configuration should be opened when table window is active by Right mouse button >Table columns (from context menu)

See video2.

Thank you @Krzysztof_Wasik  much appreciated.

for Ad4, that is very different from what I expected based on the documentation description. I was under the impression that checking that box would allow me to put in a specific angle to map the the results to (relative to the shell principal axis).

HI @DonBAE 

In that case angle presents angle of principal direction in in respect to direction selected as the main for results presentation.

Ah that makes sense Thank you again.
