Reports
Tutorial video of this topic is available at Basic E-Learning: 16 Post Analysis, Analysis Results Report, Various Reports
Various reports can be generated under " Drawings & Reports" tab.
Pre-analysis Checks Report
This report summarizes basic analysis model data such as storey heights, load combinations, materials and section properties.
The member sections properties will only be included if the option to "Print Column, Wall & Beam Section Properties in Post-Analysis Report" is checked (via Model Options > Settings). We suggest that this option be unchecked to reduce memory requirement and size of the report.
Post-analysis Checks Report
This report summarises the post analysis storey drift checks, member effective section stiffness factors, and all seismic analysis results if performed.
Strong Column Checks
This report summarises the outcome of strong column checks for RC and steel special moment-resisting frames according to ACI 318, Eurocode 8 or TBDY 2018.
This report will only be available if certain seismic code is chosen (generally where high ductility is required due to high seismic zone).
Analysis Model Echo Report
This report contains that analysis model data (solver input file). It contains information such as joint data and coordinates load and material data etc.
A more detail report will only be generated if the option to "Create Detailed Analysis Echo File" is checked (via Model Options > Settings).
We suggest that this options be unchecked to reduce memory requirement and size of the report.
Storey Displacements Report
ProtaStructure calculates the displacements in the x and y directions and torsion for each load combination for each storey (based on diaphragm).
ProtaStructure creates building models by using three degrees of freedom in each rigid diaphragm group. These degrees of freedom are: displacement in x direction, displacement in y direction and rotation at Z. There are displacements resulting from different load cases at the mass center of each diaphragm.
In the Building Analysis form, “Storey Displacements” option in the “Reports” menu can be used to print out the storey displacements.
Eigenvalue Results
If an Eigenvalue Analysis has been performed, an extra button appears on the Reports tab. The “Eigenvalue Results Report” provides numerical output from the Eigenvalue analysis consisting of frequencies and mass participations.
This report will also be created if earthquake analysis has been performing (by generating seismic load cases & combination). The report will show all the earthquake analysis results such as :
- Modal participation factors
- Dynamic Forces
- Spectrum modal amplitudes
- Base Forces due to seismic load cases
Sway Classification Report
This report displays the calculations for determining the sway classification of each storey in the structure. The calculations vary depending on the active design code. \
For more details, kindly refer to Sway Sensitivity & Second-Order Effects
Analysis Result Report
User can generate a list of analysis results for nodes or structural members including trusses, purlins, bracing, etc. The steps to generate the report are as shown below:
1) Select Structural Members, nodes or diaphragms
- Filter by Storeys Types of Member Types
- Highlight members or nodes or diaphragms, then click "→" to select the members.
2) Select Modal Elements
- Structural Members: The report will show the label of the members.
- Frame Elements: The report will show the label of the frame members as shown in the analytical model.
3) Select Load Combinations or Load Cases.
- Load Cases/ Load Combinations: Users can either select analysis result of load cases or load combinations to be printed in the report.
- Reactions (N, V2, V3, M22...): Select which directions of forces/bending moments to be printed in the report.
- i-Node or j-Node: To view the analysis result of 2 ends of the members.
- Output Type: Report can be exported to TXT or CSV format.
4) Create Report
Click "Create Report" button will generate analysis result report in TXT or CSV format.
Steel members & RC members Design
RC Beam, RC Column/ Wall, Steel Beam/ Steel Colum Design will be printed in this report. This report is only available when steel column/ beam are designed.
The program will prompt warning message as shown below if design report are not generated after performing members design. Therefore, users need to click "Design Report" button in the respective members design tab to generate design report first.
Seismic Isolator Report
This reports shows the seismic isolators design summary reports. The results based on the load cases and load combinations can be included by checking the "Include Load Case Results" and "Include Load Combination Results", respectively.
Member Loads
Member loads report summarizes all the information of assigned loadings to the members.
Kindly note that only loaded members are printed in this report, members with no assigned loadings will be excluded.
Slab Loads Report
This report shows all the slab additional dead loads as created in the “Slab Additional Loads library”.
Wall Types Report
This report shows all the brickwall (or partition) types as created in the “Wall Types Library”.
Member Property Assignments
Member property assignments report summarizes column/beam/frame end release conditions, support assignments, splice locations, and isolator assignments.
Check Slab Thickness
Slab Minimum Thickness Checks report summarizes the slab types and minimum thickness requirements to Turkish codes.
Strip Footing Design, Pad Base & Pile Cap Design
Design of strip footings, pad footing and pile cap will be included in Strip Footing Design Report. This report is only available when strip footings, pad footings or pile caps are inserted and designed.
Geotechnical Report Pre-Design Summary
This report includes preliminary summary for geotechnical aspect of your model, including earthquake parameters and estimated soil properties, analysis results, soil pressure for raft foundations, etc.
FE Foundation Report
A detailed report that combines all aspects of a raft foundation design, including FE contours, soil pressures, rebar design, punching checks, etc.
Beam Load Analysis Report
This report shows the loadings on each beam along with other loads such as partition wall loads, slab loads and user-defined loads etc.
It does not include ‘secondary beam’ reactions or discontinuous (transfer) columns and wall loads as these loads are not externally applied and are evaluated in the building analysis.
Wall Minimum Thickness Checks
This checks the minimum wall thickness to selected code.
