P-Delta Analysis

triezenbergj — Mon, 05 Oct 2015 16:45:16 GMT

Technical Reference Manual 3.37.2.(option 1).c says the PDELTA analysis results are as good or better than the PDELTA KG analysis results. Can anybody elaborate on this?

I would think that the Kg analysis would always return more reliable results.

Also, under (option 2) e, the help says for static analysis PDELTA ANALYSIS (SMALL) with 20 or more iterations is preferred. Why is KG not preferred?

Thanks,

Jeff

SS3 - How do I generate an XML Report that shows the station of the baseline, but the elevations at a given offset from the baseline?

I found this post describing a workflow for InRoads, but it isn't the same in PowerGEOPAK. I want to generate elevations of a terrain along an alignment at a specified station and offset.

Temporary supports in RC-Pier

I want to place an eccentric point load on the footing to model a temporary support in RC-Pier. What's the best way to do that?

I tried applying a dead load to the footing tab under DC1, however the input is a little confusing and there is no way to visualize the load to verify the location is correct.

Thanks in advance.

Customized output reports

Is there any way to get a customized output in CONSPAN or LEAP Bridge? For example if I only want to print stresses at the same 4-5 locations along with some other outputs. Is there any way to accomplish this?
