Force Response Operators
Response operators of the forces in beams and connectors are obtained with the
command:
F RAO POST, –OPTIONS
and the available options are:
–CLASS, :CLS SEL
–NODE, :NODE SEL(1), :NODE SEL(2), :NODE SEL(3), :NODE SEL(4)
–ELEMENT, :ELE SEL
–DETAIL
–STANDARD, L(1), T(1), ..... L(n), T(n)
–SUMMARY, L(1), T(1), ..... L(n), T(n)
–REPORT, YES/NO
–FILE, YES/NO
Here, one will only receive RAOs for elements which match the selectors defined with
the –CLASS, –NODE, and –ELEMENT options as described previously.
The extent of the reports which will be produced is controlled by which of the three
report types –DETAIL, –STANDARD or –SUMMARY were selected and the
report limits. With a –STANDARD or –SUMMARY report, L(i) and T(i) are
used to specify a range of values for which a given report will be printed. The value
used for determining the range is the axial load. One can specify as many ranges as
he desires, or he can omit all data following the option. If no ranges are specified, one
report for all ranges of axial load will be printed. An option of –STANDARD will
result in a report of the RAOs for the maximum axial force over all selected periods
and headings for each member selected. If one specifies an option of –SUMMARY,
this report will be reduced to the RAOs for only the selected element in each class
which has the greatest axial force. Finally, if one specifies –DETAIL as an option,
the original report will be expanded to include checks of all members for all periods
and headings at all load points. Notice that –DETAIL, –STANDARD, and –
SUMMARY may all be used on the same command to produce reports of all three
types. Also, if no options are specified, then a default of –STANDARD is assumed.
The options –REPORT and –FILE are used to control whether or not the RAOs
are written to a post–processing file, or the standard output file. The default is to
write them only to the output file. If –FILE YES is specified, then the RAOs will
be written to both places. If –FILE YES –REPORT NO is specified, then the
RAOs will only be written to the post–processing file.
