Sensitivity Analysis
Sensitivity Analysis • Investigate the effects of different values for features/parameters. Why? • Better understanding of the behaviour of system being modelled. How much is necessary? • Depends on how certain you are of the model behaviour.
Reference model results Reference model Change 1 feature/ parameter New revised model New results Change a different feature/ parameter New revised model New results • Change variables one at a time, go back to the reference model after each change.
• Consider the parameters most indicative of the model behaviour: – Maximum deflection? – Maximum bending moment/shear force/axial force? – Lowest natural frequency? • Compare and report results without dimensions. – Use percentage difference +/- % %diff = (value – reference value)/reference value 100 – Or ratios For more detail see: http: //www. imacleod. com/Using.

Example 1. 5 m The Model Geometry: The model is created in 2 D, in the x-y plane. 1. 3 m 1. 4 m 1. 3 m 100 x 3. 6 SHS – for all top and bottom chord members and vertical members. 100 x 8 EA – for tension diagonals.
Model 1 – pin joints • Axial load • Displacement
Model 2 – fixed/rigid joints • Axial load • Bending moment
Model 3 – no bracing • Axial load • Bending moment
