Peak results

Use the Evaluate Peak Response dialog box to predict the peak response of a structure due to base excitations (enforced motion). Peak results are real scalar or vector results of the peak response values at nodes or on elements. You can evaluate peak results for the whole model or relative to a node or element.

You can store the results in two different formats: node or node-on-element. The peak values of the nodal response (displacement, acceleration, and reaction force) are stored in nodal format, while the peak values of the elemental response (stress, element force, or shell stress resultant) are stored in node-on-element format.

Note:

When you created the dynamic solution, you should have created a Structural Output Request and specified the result types to evaluate. For more information, see Define Response Dynamics result types.

• The nodal peak results in a given direction (for example, acceleration in the X direction) are vector results. The magnitude is the peak value, and the direction shows the requested (nodal) direction in the coordinate system.

• The elemental peak von Mises stress results are scalar results.

• Results can be in the nodal displacement coordinate system, element coordinate system, or material coordinate system, depending on the type of output you select.

Where do I find it?

• Choose Response Dynamics tab→Response Dynamics group→Evaluate Peak Results .

• Simulation Navigator→right-click the event node→Evaluate Contour Results→Peak
