Calculation

Calculation process:

First a load case for the self-weight is generated. This load case plus a predefined Dead Load will be taken into account for the definition of the deformation and water level in the first iteration step.

During the iteration process a check takes place after every calculation step to indicate whether there is convergence or divergence. In case of divergence the following warning appears: "No convergence for rainwater loading: deformations > 1m".

The calculation is finished immediately. In case of convergence the calculation is finalized and results are saved in Loads and Loads calculation.

 

Results:

  • without internal results:

The decisive load case water (in a well-balanced position) appears in the dialogue window Loads.  In the dialogue window Load calculation the boundary conditions are described. These boundary conditions can be taken into account in the output.

  • with internal results:

All calculation steps are reported in the dialogue window Load calculation and the related water loads are represented in the dialogue  window Loads.

 

If the generator is used several times for one project, the existed generated loads are not rewritten
