Step 6: Displaying the Pushover Deformed Shape and the Sequence of Pushover Hinge<br />
Formation<br />
1. From the Options menu select Windows and the select One from the submenu. The display<br />
changes to one window.<br />
Note: With this option you can select to have from one to four windows on the screen at the<br />
same time. Each of the windows can be showing a completely different view.<br />
2. Click the 3-D View button on the main toolbar to show the default 3-D view.<br />
3. Click the Set Elements button on the main toolbar (or select Set Elements… from the<br />
View menu). This displays the Set Elements Dialog box. In this dialog box check the Hide<br />
box in the Shells area and click the OK button. This will turn off the display of shell<br />
elements.<br />
4. Click the Display Static Deformed Shape button , or from the Display menu select<br />
Show Deformed Shape... to display the Deformed Shape dialog box.<br />
5. In this dialog box:<br />
• Select Push2 Static Push from the Load drop-down box.<br />
• Select Auto in the Scaling area.<br />
• Check both the Wire Shadow and the Cubic Curve options in the Options area.<br />
• Click the OK button.<br />
6. The deformed shape will appear. Note that the title of the window includes the information<br />
“Deformed Shape (PUSH2 – Step 0)”. Thus we are currently viewing the deformed shape at<br />
the start of the pushover. Since the PUSH2 pushover was started from the GRAV pushover,<br />
we are also viewing the deformed shape at the end of the GRAV pushover.<br />
Note: Recall that the PUSH2 pushover load case is the PUSHPAT static load pattern.<br />
7. Right click on any second level or roof level joint to see the displacement for that joint. The<br />
displacements will be very small, as is expected when only the gravity load is applied.<br />
8. Click the Right Arrow button located on the right-hand side of the status bar at the<br />
bottom of the screen to view the deformed shape of the next step (Step 1) in the pushover.<br />
Note: When viewing the pushover deformed shape and sequence of hinge formation, the<br />
right and left arrow buttons, located in the status bar at the bottom of the screen,<br />
provide an easy way to view the deformed shape for the next (right arrow), or<br />
previous (left arrow) pushover step.<br />
