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 />
