Presentation of the cross-section table with definition of the data related to a calculation with deformable cross-sections with using Finite Elements. A finite element of a certain type is assigned to the respective cross-section element. Available element types are plate elements, shear wall elements, shell elements and volume elements.
The window contains 4 areas: Top left the table of cross-sections with basic parameters, top right a graphic presentation of the cross-section, and bottom the table of the assigned Finite Elements.
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Cross-section table (top left) |
- Group: Group name of the cross-section
- Name: Name of the individual cross-section (variant of grouped cross-sections)
- Catalogue Name: Name of the respective catalog cross-section in the case the cross-section has been taken over from the predefined cross-section catalog.
- N-Part:Number of individual Parts of the cross-section
|
| Graphic presentation (top right) |
The graphical view shows the cross section with all its parts. The part currently selected in the lower left table is drawn in signal color (red).
- GraphSet:Function for modification of the presentation (selection of presented properties of the whole cross-section.
- Mark pnt:Option for switching on or off the element boundary marking
- Zoom:Option for maximizing the presentation of the current cross-section part.
