Moving springs - results

Hello,
I want to obtain the results of the rotations for each load case I have defined.
In the results, I can identify which nodes I need to check to get my rotation φ-Y, but I’m currently doing it manually through the results window, and it takes a lot of time.
Is there a better solution?

Hello,

Why do you need to identify the number of the nodes to check? Does the number of the nodes vary? Do you mean that the number of the node changes when you mesh the system with SOFIMSHC or export it with SOFIPLUS?

Please explain the task exhaustively, so it’s easier for outsider to understand what the issue is.

Thanks!

I need to check the in each load case the phi of each node of the structure that is above of the supports. In each load case I am launching the bridge 1m, while the supports are stable, so the nodes I need to check changes every time.
I’m sorry if I’m not explaining this thoroughly — I just don’t want to waste your time :slight_smile:

Hi,

If I understand correctly, if you launch the bridge by 1 meter, I guess you know the coordinates of the new nodes, which you must inquire, because you know the coordinates of the springs. With the module TEMPLATE, you can access the database with @CDB and @KEY and see which nodes are there (at the coordinates you expect them to be). Then you can check the rotation of the nodes.

Does that seem possible?
