Stress & Strain Hysteresis

Navigation: User Interface Overview > Charts >

This section shows the stress and strain and hysteresis chart ribbon of one or multiple components simultaneously. Note that the users can only view the stress and strain and hysteresis chart if the user performed site response analysis.

Chart

Show/hide chart features:

•Legend: Show/hide the chart series legend

•Records: Show/hide individual selected records from the chart (note that those records are still including when calculating statistics)

•X Log: Switch the X-axis from linear-scale to log-scale

•Y Log: Switch the Y-axis from linear-scale to log-scale

•X Grid: Show/hide the X-axis grid lines (parallel to Y-axis)

•Y Grid: Show/hide the Y-axis grid lines (parallel to X-axis)

•Norm X-Axis: Make the X-axis scale normalized to a maximum value of 1.0 (useful for Arias charts)

•Norm Y-Axis: Make the Y-axis scale normalized to a maximum value of 1.0 (useful for Arias charts)

•Freeze X-Axis: Freeze X-axis limits (min/max) - prevents automatic updating when a different record is selected

•Freeze X-Axis: Freeze Y-axis limits (min/max) - prevents automatic updating when a different record is selected

Chart

Show/hide a specific record component in the chart:

•H1 Comp: show/hide 1st Horizontal Component

•H2 Comp: show/hide 2nd Horizontal Component

•V Comp: show/hide Vertical Component
