Viewing Results

A whole host of facilities and wizards are available to help you evaluate your results.

  • Results can be viewed using separate layers for diagram, contour, vector and discrete value data.
  • Plot bending moments, shear forces, and deflections.
  • Contour ranges and vector/diagram scales can be controlled locally in each window or set globally to apply to all windows.
  • Loadcases are selected on a window basis allowing multiple views of the model with each window displaying results for different loadcases.
  • Results can be displayed in global or local directions, in element directions, or at any specified orientation.
  • Results can be plotted on deformed or undeformed fleshed or unfleshed beam sections.
  • Multiple slices may be cut through 3D solid models on arbitrary planes and made visible or invisible in any window.

Plotting contours

AnimationAnimations

Animations of results - particularly useful for animating mode shapes and investigating the spread of yielded material - can be saved as AVI files for display in other Windows applications.

GraphingGraphing

The graphing wizard provides a step by step means of selecting which results are to be plotted. Numerical data used to create the graph is displayed in a grid style alongside the graph.

Slab designSlab Design

An RC slab/wall design facility calculates the reinforcement requirements for slabs or panels based upon Wood Armer moments. Contours of steel area, or bar diameter and spacing can be plotted to aid in the detailing process.

Printed Results

Views of your LUSAS model may be printed directly to your default printer from page layout or working mode and a printing scale and origin can be defined. Model views can also be saved as high resolution BMP, JPG, or WMF files.

A report wizard allows model and results data to be selected on an element, feature type, group, and loadcase basis for output into an easy- to- read Word report for model checking purposes, quality assurance and for listing of results. 

Output to 3rd Party Software

The contents of a model window can be saved or copied for use in creating reports in applications such as MS Word. All results can be output for use in spreadsheet applications such as MS Excel where additional graphing or calculations can be carried out.
