T2.2.16 Deflections <strong>and</strong> Sway Stability<br />

We will now view the frame deflection under serviceability <strong>and</strong> sway stability<br />

conditions.<br />

Select ‘List of Selected Nodal Displacements’ from the Edit-View menu.<br />

The Nodal displacements check is also accessible by selecting the AutoCheck<br />

design brief.<br />

Serviceability <strong>and</strong> Sway Stability nodal displacement are automatically<br />

extracted for eaves <strong>and</strong> apex nodes. The Sway Stability displacement limit of<br />

h/1000 is also automatically inserted.<br />

The maximum horizontal sway is only 2.95 mm which is less than half the<br />

permissible value of h/1000 (6 mm).<br />

Other analysis information can be viewed using ‘View Analysis Output’ <strong>and</strong><br />

‘Bending, shear <strong>and</strong> deflection’ from the Print menu.<br />
