Results Overview
The Results tab offers the user several options to view and export the results of the analyses either individually or of multiple analyses. The user is encouraged to examine the computed surface motions (acceleration, velocity and displacement) in addition to surface response and fourier spectra. The user can also examine the stress and strain histories in a selected layer.
The Results tab consists of a visual display of the Motions and Layers selected in the following plots/sections:
- Time History Plots
- Stress-Strain Plots
- Spectral Plots
- Profile Plots
- Mobilized Stress
- Displacement Animation
- Response Spectra Summary
- Check Convergence
In addition to the various plots, an output for each selected layer will be directly exported to a text file in the working directory specified by the user. If multiple motions were selected for analysis, there will be a folder corresponding to each profile and within this folder there will be the folders of each of the motions, that contain the results from each motion.
Exporting Results
There are numerous export options available in the toolbar that allow for additional use and review of the data outside of RSSeismic. This includes:
In addition to the above file formats, users can also copy the data to the Clipboard using:
To view your all your soil profile data and results in a report form, select File > Report Generator. The Report Generator creates a document that includes all of your project data in an editable report, which can be exported to PDF or Printed.
Clear Results
To clear your computed results, and recompute your model with different parameters, click the Clear Results option in the tool bar.
Color Mode
For easier viewing of the plots, the Results tab has two Color Mode options:
- Color series by motion color
- Blend motion and layer color
Use the drop down list in the bottom right of the screen to select the optimal color mode for viewing your results.
