Additional form: Mander concrete Stress-Strain Data
Use the Material Stress-Strain Curve Data form to display the material stress-strain curve plot as defined using the options on the Nonlinear Material Data form.
Material Property Name display box. The material definition to which the stress-strain curve applies appears in this display box.
Material Type display box. The material type to which the stress-strain curve applies appears in this display box.
Symmetry Type display box. The directional symmetry type to which the stress-strain curve applies appears in this display box.
Property Temperature display box. If the material property has been defined as temperature dependent, this area is added to the form and the display box shows the temperature at which the specified parameters apply.
Plot Control Parameters
Background drop-down list. Use the Auto selection or choose another background color from this drop-down list for the plot display.
Curve Color box. This box shows the color that is used to display the curve. Click this color box to display the Color form and select a revised display color for the stress-strain curve.
Add Left and Right Borders and Add Top and Bottom Borders check boxes. Check these check boxes to add a border area around the plot display.
Reverse Plot Axes Direction check box. Check this check box to change the orientation of the plot by reversing the positive and negative ends of the X and Y axes of the plot.
Disable Snap check box. When this check box is unchecked and the mouse is moved over the plot, the cursor snaps to the curve and a red dot shows the location of the cursor. Check this check box to allow the cursor to be move anywhere over the plot.
Mander Concrete Model
Modify/Show Mander Data button. This button is visible only for Mander Concrete stress-strain curves (Mander was selected from the Stress-Strain Curve Definition Options drop-down list on the Nonlinear Material Data form) . Clicking this button accesses the Mander Concrete Stress-Strain Data form. Select a Mander Type and if the Mander Type is Confined, specify a concrete frame section property (use the drop-down list), or specify user-defined reinforcing data. After the frame section or reinforcing data has been specified, click the Update Plot button to review how the section properties affect the stress-strain curve plot. This data is for display purposes in the forms only; the data specified has no effect on the model.
Slide bar and Mouse Pointer Location Strain and Stress display boxes. Use the slide bar beneath the plot to move the mouse cursor along the curve even when the Disable Snap check box is checked. The coordinates of the mouse pointer are shown in the Strain and Stress display boxes.
File menu. Use the commands on the file menu to print the plot, display tables and to save the plot in a .bmp file format.
Print Setup for Graphics. Use this command to access the Print Setup form and specify the printer, paper size and orientation for printing the plot.
Use Color Printer. Use this command to send the plot as a color print, assuming a color printer is available.
Print Graphics. Use this command to send the plot to the printer immediately.
Display Tables. Use this command to access the Choose Tables For form and select the types of data to be displayed in tabular format.
Capture Picture. Use this command to save the plot as a .bmp file. This command has sub commands to save the Entire Screen, the Form Including the Title Bar, the Form Without the Title Bar, and the Plot Only area on the form.
