8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 132 The address is selected from the corresponding field . For beams in particular, the default direction is the principal direction z, but with the assumption that the angle of rotation of the plastic joint is the worst case both directions. Two coloured areas appear, one positive and one for negative values of the axis, where blue represents the B level of performance and brown the C level respectively. The values in black are the limits for each performance level. In the diagram they are shown as integers, but in the bottom right-hand part for negatives and in the top left-hand part for positives, they are written with their decimal places. The colours that appear in the circles at the ends of each member in the 3D vector depend on where the corresponding angle of rotation of the plastic joint is located.
