Rotation at a free slab edge in csi SAFE

[efFeb]

Good Morning,
I am doing an analysis of an existing slab, and I'm interested in finding out how much rotation I would get at a point if I create a free edge (unrestrained from rotation)

Does anybody know how i can determine the slab rotation at an edge in SAFE?

Thanks so much!

You can add a joint at the location in mind. Then Choose Tables for Display - Analysis Results - Joint Output - Displacements - Joint Displacements. RX RY RZ are rotations.

Alternatively you can see this information graphically by displaying deformed shape. The GUI will show UX UY UZ RX RY RZ for joints or mesh edges as you hover around the model.

Agreed, that's how I would do it. The RX RY RZ values are in radians.
