Hi,

I wanted to print MAXIMUM restraint loads on C2Isogen file for selected nodes. I have tried different settigns of Stress Annotations in OUTPUT tab. However it displays results loadcase-wise. Can I print the MAXIMUM loads on the supports in Isogen file??

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,

C2Isogen will open the output file and read its data, but it can not sort out the maximum value for any load case. You need to find it out on the output processor, and use the third tab "Nodal Annotation" and type that value under the column "User Annotation", then you can see the maximum loads on isometric drawings.

Depending on the number of supports you want to show with max restraint forces, an option might be to create an MAX loadcase in CEASAR and select the nodes of interest from this loadcase in C2Isogen.

Have not tried this myself though, since our current practice is to postprocess restraint data in excell.
