Nonlinear Analysis tab
Used to direct STAAD.Pro to perform a nonlinear analysis which can account for nonlinear effects of moderate displacement and small strain. This solution holds for where the element distortion is small and small rotations are assumed.
Refer to TR.37.8 幾何学的非線形解析 for additional information.
The first analysis step must be stable, otherwise use ARC control to prevent instability. The procedure does not use follower loads. Loads are evaluated at the joints before the first step; then those loads translate with the joint but do not rotate with the joint. Equilibrium is computed in the displaced position.
Nonlinear entities such as tension/compression members, multilinear springs, gaps, etc. are not supported when using a nonlinear analysis. 幾何学的非線形解析では、温度荷重はサポートされていません。 Additionally, nonlinear analysis does not account for post-buckling stiffness of members.
The values for the Displacement Limit are used to limit analysis cycle to a specified displacement value and degree of freedom for a monitored node. When two or more Load Steps are specified, the calculated displacement or rotation is compared to the Target Value along or about the DOF for the specified Node each step. If the calculated displacement or rotation meets or exceeds the target value, then the analysis is stopped.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ARC |
Specify a displacement control, which is the value of the absolute displacement limit for the first analysis step. If the maximum displacement is greater than this limit, ARC will calculate a new step size for the first step and a new value for Load Step. Value should be in current length units. |
||||||||||||||||
Iterations | Max. Number of iterations to achieve equilibrium in the deformed position to the tolerance specified. | ||||||||||||||||
Tolerance | For convergence, two successive iteration results must have all displacements the same within this tolerance. Value entered is in current units. | ||||||||||||||||
Load Steps | Specify the number of load steps to be used. Load is applied in stages if entered. One means that all of the load is applied in the first step. | ||||||||||||||||
Rebuild Steps |
Frequency of rebuilds of the tangent K matrix per load step & iteration.
