Generating reports
My standard output:
- Input listing
- displacements of operating/sus cases (but not alt-sus)
- restraint summary of OPE / OCC cases
- flange Peq (if used)
- Hanger report (if used)
- Stress summary legacy for B31.3
- Code compliance for EN 13480
Export to Word, not printer (printer will do every output seperately)
Importing and exporting
Exporting a CSV can be done from the top bar, tools>import/export displacements. Editing can be done in excel, make sure to keep the format the same, which is:
| A | B | C | D | E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| * Conversion factor: | ||||
| 25.400000 | ||||
| Y axis is vertical | ||||
| * Node | X | Y | Z | DX1 |
