Analysis Result which relates the Rotation/Displacement to its corresponding mode in ETABS

Analysis Result which relates the Rotation/Displacement to its corresponding mode in ETABS

(OP)
Hi Everyone,

Im doing Dynamic Analysis in Etabs to capture the first 3 modes(response) of the Building, it is understood that Mode 1 and Mode 2 should be translational in orthogonal directions and Mode 3 is more likelt rotation. My question is, is there any tabulated output maybe a Node Displacement and or Rotation to be able to check these first 3 Modes and to make sure mode 1 and 2 are translational in nature.

I could not find any tabulated result in the Analysis Result which relates the Rotation/Displacement to its corresponding mode, i have also checked the Summary Result but i was not able to see any related info.

Any input is highly appreciated,


Thanks very much in advance,

Regards,
Kenneth

RE: Analysis Result which relates the Rotation/Displacement to its corresponding mode in ETABS

Do you need tabulated output? Typically, I just look at the mode shape animations for each mode.

Hi wannabeSE,

I prefer to get a tabulated result as im not confindent checking Mode shapes animation visually. Do you know how extract these info which relates the rotation and or displacement to its corresponding mode shape, i cant find any related info in Result table output as well as in the Summary Output.

Regards,
Kenneth
