Analysis Results¶
Figure 4.12.3 shows the displacement time history at the monitoring node (load node, node 3121) specified in the Analysis Control Data, plotted using Microsoft Excel. An excerpt from the monitoring-node displacement output file (dyna_disp_3121.txt) is shown below as numerical output.
