Coloured surface reactions
The Coloured surface reactions analysis result shows surface reaction forces as a colour-based field result. This visualisation mode is primarily used for understanding the distribution of reaction forces on surface supports.
Coloured surface reactions are available for:
- Load cases
- Load combinations
- Construction stages
- Seismic analysis
- Time history, ground acceleration
- Time history, excitation force
Result selection
To show Coloured surface reactions, you must select additional settings from the result option lists.
Depending on the selected analysis context, one or more of the following parameters may need to be selected:
- reaction component, for example Fx', Fy' or Fz'
- load case or load combination
- load case type for load case results
- construction stage
- seismic shape
- time step, for time history results
Only selections relevant to the selected analysis type are shown.
Result display
Coloured surface reactions uses Colour palette with resultant vectors display.
