Bolt Column Forces
If your model includes bolt support, the Show Bolt Column Forces option will show the magnitude, failure mode, and direction of the actual support forces which are applied to the intersected block face in the RocSlope3 analysis. This option is only available in Results mode.
To show bolt column forces:
- Navigate to the Results workflow tab
- Select Interpret > Show Bolt Column Forces.
Forces are only displayed on bolts which intersect the slip surface.
Bolt Force Legend and Display Options
When you select Show Bolt Column Forces, the Legend at the right of the screen will indicate:
- Bolt Column Force magnitudes
- Bolt Failure Mode types which are applicable
In the Display Options dialog, the Bolt Forces option allows you to customize the colours used for the bolt failure modes. You can also choose the Bolt Force Colouring Mode as either:
- Failure Mode: Bolt force colours will indicate the bolt failure mode.
- Force Value: Bolt force colours will indicate the force magnitude corresponding to the Legend.
