This window

appears (Output

interface) asking

one to select points

at node locations

15. Select points for curvesNow one is ready

to calculate

phases, but first

select points for

curve generationlater



Note the

prescribed ultimate

state has been

reached fully and

proceed to theoutput

16. Verifying Ultimate StateNote the

prescribed ultimate

state has been

reached fully and

proceed to theoutput

A successful

calculation is noted by

a green check mark,

while a red ³x´ implies

an error was

encountered



17. Checking Reached Values

Moving back to the

Multipliers tab,

select ³Reached

Values´ to view

corresponding Fy

Fy corresponds to 1

radian of the

axisymmetric

footing. For total

force multiply by 2p



W hat's to come?
