| Res Type | Def; Min; Max | The result type is specifically used for retrieving loads from a response spectrum (RSA) case. In RSA, the static load values are computed first (default). Then, the absolute RSA values are either added (maximum) or subtracted (minimum) from the default case. Thus, this option facilitates the choice between the default, minimum, or maximum RSA cases. |
