Linear Time-history Analysis Chart

Time history analysis chart view shows the plots of nodal responses (displacements, velocities and accelerations) versus time for the chosen nodes. The settings include:

Items to be plotted (tree control)

The selected items will be plotted in the chart views. Multiple selection can be made and it will result in multiple chart views to be opened.

Linear time history analysis task

If more than one linear time history analysis tasks exist, choose the one to be used in generating the chart views. If only one linear time history analysis task is available, it will be used in generating the chart views.

Output nodes

Node list to define the output nodes in the chart views.

Modal contributions

Check this box if the contributions from a particular mode or a number of modes need to be plotted. If this box is Unchecked, the total responses will to be plotted.

Mode list

List of the modes to be plotted for their contributions to total responses, it is only available if ‘Modal contributions’ box is checked.
