Check
The Check tool is used to run the deflection check for structural elements and review the results.
When you activate this tool, a tool palette opens.
Main tool
- Check – run the deflection check using the currently defined deflection settings
Element type
Use the following functions to define which type of structural elements are included in the deflection check:
- Bars – run the deflection check for bar elements
- Shells – run the deflection check for shell elements
Only one element type can be checked at a time.
Additional settings
-
Calculation… – select which type of analysis results are used for the deflection check
- Load combinations – use results from load combinations
- Load groups – use results from load groups
-
Display table – show or hide the results table for the selected element type
When Display table is enabled, a results table is shown listing the checked elements and their utilisation.
The table highlights elements that exceed the defined deflection limits and provides a quick overview of the deflection check status.
The deflection check uses the settings defined with Configure deflection check, Bar deflection length and Shell deflection region tools.
