Analysis results

Figure 4.12.3 shows a time series of the displacement of a monitoring node (load node, 3121) specified in the analysis control data, created by Microsoft Excel. A part of the monitoring node displacement output file (dyna_disp_3121.txt) is shown below as numerical data for the analysis results.
