Form:  Moving Load Case Results Saved

The Analysis > Bridge > Bridge Response command can be used to display the Moving Load Case Results Saved form. Alternatively, click the Home > Bridge Wizard command; highlight the Moving Load Case Results Saved item; and click the Define/Show Results Saved button to display the  Moving Load Case Results Saved form.

Analysis of moving load load cases involves calculations that are computationally intensive and can take a significant amount of time in larger models. The moving load case results saved parameters allow explicit specification of the analysis results for a moving load load case. Only the results specified will be calculated and saved by the program.

If correspondence is specified to be considered, then for each maximum or minimum response computed, the corresponding force, moment or stress quantities that occur at the same time as the maximum or minimum value also are reported. For example, in a frame object, when the maximum M3 moment is calculated, if correspondence is specified the P, V2, V3, T and M2 values that occur at the same time as the maximum M3 value also are  reported. Including correspondence increases the program calculation time and the quantity of response output.

The options on the Moving Load Case Results Saved form can be used  to selectively control what information is calculated for joints and frame objects in the computationally intensive moving-load analysis.

Important: If no groups are selected for response calculation, no results will be produced for moving-load analysis.
