Releases
How to define releases on bar.
Assume we have a frame of wind load:
And we want to add releases of bending moment. Additionally:
– bar 3 – on beginning of bar
– bar 4 – on end of bar
– bar 5 – on both ends of bar
Step 1 – Go to Releases tab:
- Show local coordinate – we see that for bending moment we have axis X (Rx releases) and axis Y (Ry releases)
- Add 3 items on list – application automatically generates release’s code: x-blocked (fixed), f – released (free)
- Release the right freedom of degree
- Adding release to base
Step 2 – Go to Bars tab:
1. Show release code on bar
2. Assign correct releases to bars
3. Save changes
