structure cable history command
Syntax
- structure cable history keyword
Primary keywords:
force stress yield-tension yield-compression grout-displacement grout-slip grout-stress
Sample cable responses. Quantities for sampling include cable element force, stress and yield state, and shear coupling spring displacement, stress and slip state. If a cable is created using the
structure cable create
command, then the nodes of each element so created will be ordered such that the overall cable direction goes from the begin point to the end point (i.e., the nodal connectivity of each element will be ordered such that the direction from end-1 to end-2 corresponds with the direction from the begin point to the end point).- force [cablehistoryoptions]
average axial force in the element (positive: tension; negative: compression)
- stress [cablehistoryoptions]
average axial stress in the element (positive: tension; negative: compression)
- yield-tension [cablehistoryoptions]
tensile yield state of the element. Value {0, 1, 2} denotes never yielded, now yielding, or yielded in the past, respectively.
- yield-compression [cablehistoryoptions]
compressive yield state of the element. Value {0, 1, 2} denotes never yielded, now yielding, or yielded in the past, respectively.
- grout-displacement [cablehistoryoptions]
displacement in grout (shear coupling spring) at end of the element. Sign convention is +/- with respect to the average axial direction of cable.
- grout-slip [cablehistoryoptions]
slip state in grout (shear coupling spring) at end of the element. Value {0, 1, 2} denotes never slipped, now slipping, or slipped in the past, respectively.
- grout-stress [cablehistoryoptions]
stress in grout (shear coupling spring) at end of the element. Sign convention is +/- with respect to the average axial direction of cable.
Keyword Block
Either the component-id keyword or the position keyword must be supplied. The end keyword is optional. These keywords are supplied with the following keywords of
structure cable history
: I cant figure out why the wrong keyword list is appearing here. It is the same as the cable create command that works fine [DR: What is this comment in reference to? inline help perhaps? can’t identify the problem…]force

.
- component-id i
the particular element is identified by the component ID number. If this keyword is used, position should not be used.
