Pick Triax Accels

 

The Pick Triax Accels checkbox allows the user to use the GA to select triaxial accelerometer locations instead of individual DOF locations. Using this option requires that the candidate set TAM read into the GA retains all translational DOF at all grids. If a translation DOF is missing from the candidate set TAM then this option cannot be used. In addition, the Total # Accels must be divisible by three. If any value in the Total # Accels is not divisible by three a warning will be issued and the value in the Total # Accels box will be adjusted.
