~PLHCLPF

 

~PLHCLPF, Lab1, Lab2, VAL1, VAL2, VAL3

Plots HCLPF (High Confidence of a Low Probability of Failure) checking results in concrete beams and shells.

POST1: Concrete Checking

Lab1

Label identifying the type of element to be drawn.

Lab1	Description
BEAM	Plot HCLPF results of beam elements.
SHELL	Plot HCLPF results of shell elements.

 

Lab1= BEAM

~PLHCLPF, BEAM, Lab2, FACT

Lab2

Label identifying the result to be drawn. Results depend on active code and checking being made.

FACT

Scale factor.

Notes

- Apart from the results specified for each check, the label Lab1 = ELM_OK can be used to Plot the elements that fulfil (green) or not (red) the code for the selected check.

- For more information about the content of the element results look up in the Theory Manual in each of the chapters related to the codes, or the help for the ~HCLPFCN command.

- The graphic output will be saved in two temporal element tables named CFETAB_I and CFETAB_J.

- The annotations that appear in the graph are automatically deleted in order to avoid being shown in the following drawings. Therefore, if the command “Replot” is used, the new drawing will not have annotations. To get back the annotations, issue the ~PLHCLPF command again or send it to a file.

- To access the command through the menu option, the corresponding concrete code must be active. (See ~CODESEL command).

 

Lab1= SHELL

~PLHCLPF, SHELL, Lab2, AVERAGE, KUND, KPLOT

Lab2

Result to be drawn. The available results depend on method used to design the reinforcement.

AVERAGE

Interpolate results in nodes.

0	Interpolate.
1	Not interpolate.

KUND

Way of drawing the geometry:

0	Deformed shape only.
1	Deformed and undeformed shape.
2	Deformed shape and the edge of undeformed shape.

KPLOT

Way of plotting results:

1	By DESOL, allows different values in every node of each element, slower for a high number of elements.
2	By ETABLE, the value plotted is constant inside the element (mean value of nodes). Faster method than previous.
0	Default case, it depends on the forces and moments that will be obtained in shells (~CFCONFG command): ·         By ETABLE, ANSYS values (default value). The forces and moments are calculated at the element’s centroid. ·         By DESOL, CivilFEM values. The forces and moments are calculated at each node.

Notes

- For more information about the content of the element results look up in the Theory Manual in each of the chapters related to the codes, or the help for the ~HCLPFCN command.

- To visualize results, the solution axis system should be activated using the ANSYS command “RSYS, solu”.

- Results of the ANSYS (*.rst) result file that will be overwritten to draw CivilFEM shell results.

- Annotations that are shown in the graphic are automatically deleted to avoid being shown in following drawings. Therefore, if the REPLOT command is used, the new command will not have these annotations, being necessary a new ~PLHCLPF command to repeat the drawing or to send it to a file.
