Here, frame is the general name of both truss and rigid frame. The geometry of a frame is modeled by lines. Various kinds of data are generated from frame analysis: displacements, axial forces, shear forces, bending moments, etc. Owing to the characteristics of geometry and data in frame analysis, visualization of its results can be achieved more effectively by diagrams than surface images described in Chapter 7. Thus,  instead of  menu, appears on the menu bar if the analysis type is one of the following.  \n• 2-D truss  \n• 3-D truss  \n• 2-D frame  \n• 3-D frame  \nThe procedure of frame analysis can be divided into the same three stages as in continuum analysis: preprocessing, analysis, and postprocessing. However, VisualFEA enables the users going back and forth through the whole procedure of frame analysis so interactively and freely that these stages may not be distinctive to the users. At the moment a menu item is selected, the corresponding diagram is instantly displayed. Thus, the user may feel as if the analysis stage were bypassed, although all the necessary steps were completed in a short period of time. Furthermore, whole cycle of frame analysis can be processed in real time. For example, the bending moment diagram of a frame is updated in real time, while its geometry is being modified. VisualFEA provides an option to take the above 3 stages step by step if desired, as in the case of continuum analysis.  \nThe  menu is composed of three parts as shown below. The first part of the menu consists of the items to select the diagram, the second part consists of items to handle the diagrams, and the last part consists of items to set the display modes.  \nitems selecting the diagram to display  \nitems handling the diagram  \nitems setting the display mode  \n8-2 Chapter 8 Diagrams for Frame Analysis  \nDiagrams for Truss and Rigid Frame  \nFrames in broad sense includes both truss and rigid frame, each of which is classified again into 2-D or 3-D case. The results of frame analysis are represented chiefly by member forces instead of stresses or strains. The frame member forces are usually represented best by diagrams, although axial force of truss members may be represented better by text strings than by a diagram. The commands displaying the diagrams are given as menu items in  menu. As described at the beginning of this chapter, the first part of the menu consists of items to select the diagram and varies depending on the analysis type, and remaining items are common for all types.  \nWhenever the analysis type is altered by “Project Setup”, the menu items are changed to relevant ones. The first part items of the menu are enabled only when the model is complete for solution, and thus corresponding data are available.  \nThe diagram is displayed instantly after the corresponding menu item is chosen. The diagram is drawn over the shape of the structure. Two or more diagrams can be displayed atthe same time.  \nVisualizing analysis data of 2-D and 3-D trusses  \nIf the analysis type is set to either 2-D or 3-D truss,  menu has the items as shown below. The menu has only axial force items as for member forces. In addition, it has support reaction and displacement items. The following analysis results are available for 2-D and 3-D trusses.  \n• Axial force  \n• Support reaction  \n• Displacement  \nIt is assumed that all truss members are pin-connected at the joints. Thus, truss members are subject to only axial force. The data from truss analysis are relatively simple, and can be visualized efficiently either by diagrams or by text strings.  \nDisplay axial force diagram Display axial force by value Display reaction forces Display deformed shape  \n■ Displaying axia","cbCailUUOjkGW7uO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailUUOjkGW7uO","pdf",270232,18,"English","# Chapter 8 Diagrams for Frame Analysis\n## Diagrams for Truss and Rigid Frame\n## Visualizing analysis data of 2-D and 3-D trusses\n### Displaying axial force diagram\n### Displaying axial force value\n### Displaying reactions at supported nodes\n### Displaying displacements\n## Visualizing analysis data of 2-D and 3-D rigid frames","[{\"question\":\"What kinds of frames does VisualFEA support in frame analysis?\",\"answer\":\"VisualFEA supports 2-D truss, 3-D truss, 2-D rigid frame, and 3-D rigid frame.
