Navigation:  Reviewing the Analysis Results > Story Drifts

The first step in evaluating story drifts is to define Drift Nodes, which are the nodes at which drift will be evaluated.  To do this, select the drift nodes and click Create > Story Drift Nodes.  This will create a table of nodes (usually one at each level) that can be viewed by clicking Tables > Story Drift Nodes.

 

 

After selecting the drift nodes, click Analysis Results > Story Drift.  The Story Drifts table opens.

 

 

Select the desired Load Combination.

 

Since this table uses the predefined drift nodes, deselect the option to show selected entities only.

 

The table reports nodal displacement, inter-story drift, and the drift ratio in the X and Z direction for each story.

 

The table can be printed with the Print button.
