RESULTANT
I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry Enables the output of section resultant forces and moments.

Definitions
Argument | Option | Description |
---|---|---|
format | <OPTI, blank> |

type | NOBOLT No default |
Enables output of resultants for user-defined sections but disables the output for cross-sections associated with pretension bolts. |
option | <YES, NO, NONE, blank> |

Comments
- There are two contexts in which section forces and moments can be calculated:
- User-defined sections (via the SECTION Bulk Data Entry)
- Internally generated sections (Pretension bolts)
- In case of transient analysis, OUTPUT, HGTRANS can be specified along with RESULTANT to obtain a session file (_tran.mvw file), that can be used for plotting the time histories in HyperGraph.
- Section resultant calculations are not available for transient subcases preloaded by a nonlinear static subcase, which may result in ERROR # 5837. In such cases, RESULTANT (OPTI) = NO should be used to disable their calculation and output.
- The support information for
RESULTANT is:
- Analysis Type
- Details
- Linear Static Analysis
- Section forces and moments are available automatically if a section is created.
- Transient Analysis (Direct and Modal) and Frequency Response Analysis (Direct and Modal)
- Section forces and moments are available only if a section is created and the RESULTANT I/O Entry is used.
