Modelling

General

• Variable slab thickness

• Stiffness of the connection between two entities

• Model a 'tension only' element

• Difference between alpha and LCS rotation

• Rotate structural entities around a certain axis

• Connections between two entities

• Coordinate systems

• Cooperation between a plate and beams

• Elastic subsoil

• Cylindrical 3D line grid with drawings

• Create a custom cross-section

• Define your own materials in the (default) system database

• Import a project from a dxf/dwg file

• Applying absences

• Input table

• Local coordinate system of a node

• Model a composite deck

• Orthotropic behaviour of plates

• Model masonry wall

• Model a one-way slab

• Import a cross-section from a dwg or dxf file

• Structural model

• Model dummy elements

• Insert a node on a 2D member edge

• Differences between structure types

• Snap points

• Use a polyline to model rafters

• Use different haunches at both element ends

• Round coordinates

• Frequent sources of instabilities

• Create an opening in a curved element

• Settings for line and dot grids

• Add a cross-section to the profile library

• Save a library item to reuse in other projects

• Metal deck or composite deck are not available

• Define a flexible line support
