Components for Beam Resultant
When you select
Beam Resultant from the
Quantity drop-down list, the
Component drop-down list displays the components specific to that quantity. Use this drop-down list to further refine your quantity definition.
These options appear on the Component drop-down list:
• X—the beam resultant quantity about the X axis.
• Y—the beam resultant quantity about the Y axis.
• Z—the beam resultant quantity about the Z axis. Z is not available for 2D models.
If you change the coordinate system type for your results display, the directional components in the
Component drop-down list change to reflect the new coordinate system. For example, if you change from the Cartesian coordinate system to the Cylindrical coordinate system, the labels change from
X,
Y, and
Z to
R,
T, and
Z. For more information, see
Results Relative to Coordinate Systems.
