Figure 3.60 The various minima and maxima for a combination of a complex and a static result case
Note: Specify the appropriate method for Evaluation of complex result case with the complex result
case highlighted in the Source result cases list box (prior to transferring it) or in the Combination result cases list box (after transferring it). You may change the evaluation method at any
time until clicking Apply.
Note: You may select and transfer two or more Source result cases at the time (but only one of them
may be complex).
Note: You may select and change Scaling factor for two or more Combination result cases at the
time.
Note: The combination is established for the result position and attribute (and all components of the
attribute) highlighted in the database window and given in the lower right in the Combine dialog. The searching for true/absolute minimum/maximum is performed for the given component. Change result position/attribute/component by selecting (single-click to highlight) the
appropriate component and return to the Combine dialog. The new result position/attribute/
component will then be given in the Combine dialog.
Note: When establishing the combination for all available results (all attributes of all positions) by
checking the All results option in the Combine dialog then evaluation for a specific phase only
is allowed. Other choices are therefore greyed out. This is because an evaluation for maximum
and minimum would give different phases for all positions/attributes/components.
Note: You cannot expand a combination including a complex result case with another attribute (as
you can for other combinations by the line-mode command ‘combine add’). This is essentially
for the same reason as in the previous note: The combination was formed by a complex evaluation which is valid only for the selected attribute/component.
Note: Deformed model is available (or meaningful) for a combination including a complex result
case only when it is evaluated for a specific phase (not true/absolute minimum/maximum) and
when the combination includes nodal displacements.
Combinations are put in a Run named User (see Section 3.3.1 for an explanation of the concept of Run numbers). To select the combination you therefore need to select the Run named User, see Figure 3.24, thereafter
select the relevant Result case (i.e. combination name) and finally double-click the desired component.
