LOADPATH Data Components
LOADPATH Data Components
The data components for each LOADPATH segment are derived from the forces and moments output for the X-Sections at each end of of the LOADPATH segment by rotating the X-Section forces and moments into the vector defined between the X-Section centroids at each end of the segment.
As LOADPATH components are derived from X-Section forces and moments the *DATABASE_SECFORC option needs to be set for the following components to be available.
In addition to the derived data components the following geometric based components can also be plotted which used the X-section centroid coordinates.

Loadpath Length is measured along the vectors joining the X-section centroids |
The following "raw" X-Section data components are also available.
