Elements Equilibrium

Top  Previous  Next

This tab shows the calculations related to the Equilibrium of Elements. The program calculates the Sum of X-Forces, the Sum of Y-Forces and the Sum of Bending Moments at Start i and at End j of each Element, for the Elemental Forces, Body Forces, End Forces at i and End Forces at j. The Sum of X-Forces, the Sum of Y-Forces and also the Sums of Bending Moments at both Start i and End j (in bold) have to be zero if the Element is in Equilibrium.

Important: If you see values other than zero in these four columns (in bold), then there is a problem with the Model and the Model needs to be checked. The Model is probably a mechanism and any results should not be taken into account.
