How to view the reaction values of several load hypotheses in the same table in STATIK? – Cubus-Software (English)

In many occasions our customers have asked us if there is the possibility, in STATIK, to visualize in the same table the values of the reactions due to several load hypotheses instead of obtaining a table for each of them individually.

Once the different load hypotheses of our model have been defined, when we go to the results tab, one of the results we can ask the program for are the reactions for each one of them:

We can request the graphical results or a numerical output, but only for the load hypothesis selected in the “Load hypothesis” drop-down menu:

If we want to see grouped in the same table the reactions due to all the individual load hypotheses that we have defined or a group of them, we must create a combination of results in which we include the load hypotheses whose reactions we want to see.

If we create a combination of results as shown below:

It is important that the factor by which the load hypotheses are multiplied is 1 so that the values obtained from the reactions are those corresponding to the values of the loads in those hypotheses.

Once the combination of results has been created, we can ask the program to give us a table with the reactions due to each of the hypotheses at each of the nodes of the structure:

If we look at the first line of the table above, we see that, for the load hypothesis “EG”, the reactions at node K_1 are:

Which are the ones we obtain if we ask for the reactions for that load hypothesis individually:

With this simple “trick” we will have the possibility, for example, to include in our calculation memory a single table with the reactions caused by all load hypotheses.
