List 2 allows selection of Static loading only.

Affects Gap

Defines if the loading selected does or does not affect the gap.

OFF

Both the selected loadcases do not affect the original gap.

Plotting is performed by combining the relative displacements.

Gap +/- tolerance remains same.

ON

Corresponding loadcase affects the nominal gap and are updated as follows:

New Gap = Nominal Gap - Relative Displacement of Loadcase (with Affects Gap On) in Z direction.

Min Gap = New Gap - Tolerance

Max Gap = New Gap + Tolerance

Session Type

Summary Analysis: Perform only a summary analysis and to view basic results.

Full Analysis: Perform full analysis and to check the effects.
