EXPLANATION OF THE LOADING CODES: Single tube: -1: Only 3 dof's of one end are prescribed. These dof's prevent rigid body motions. Then structure is relaxed. 0: all the x dofs of one end plus 3 dofs are prescribed. Then the structure is relaxed. 1: bending 13: This is bend and Compress at the same time. the compression is not given in %, but in nm. 11: bending so that the hypothetical semi-circle formed by the tube has the length of the original tube, i.e. the ends are rotated and compressed. Note this does not work if RESTART!!! 2: twisting 3: Compression with ends totally prescribed 4: Compression with only x dofs prescribed at ends plus 3 dofs 5: load at one end and the other is fixed 6: squeeze the tube 7: Compress the tube holding only 4 points 8: vertical forces at ends, upper and lower lines don't z-move, and central 3 nodes fixed. 10: Ends and central lines don't z-move. in execution it becomes code 0 In nested tubes, option -1 does not exist. In running the code, -69 means tha dynamical relaxation is carried out.
