AddPnt: New/Modify/Copy

New additional point can be inserted in the selected cross-section, existing additional point modified, or a copy can be made here.

SettingDescription
RefSetType It is possible to choose between certain additional types/arrangements:
  • single point
  • polygon
  • curve
  • stress-check point
  • temperature point
  • perimeter polygon point
  • perimeter curve point
  • line begin or end point

Additionally can be set a point, for which the stress check will be done.

Pnt name The points can be named (max. 16 char)
Attribute-Set An attribute-set (material) can be assigned to each item of additional point.

If the attribute set is not input, the values for reinforcement material are zero!If the Attribute set for stress check point is not input, the first combination of max/minstress values from material file will be accepted (condition: element has to beassigned to a certain material from the table!).

EDGES Each point must be assigned to two cross-section edges. The input of nodes distance and angle is necessary for each point.
NODE 1 Input the cross-section node numbers for the first and second edges defining the first additional point
NODE 2 Input the cross-section node numbers for the first and second edges defining the second additional point
DISTANCE Distance of the additional point from the first/second edge, measured in the direction defined by the angle - see input below.
ANGLE Direction (Angle) between the edge and the additional point.
TMP For temperature points the temperature gradient must be input.
Store Stress leading results for this point To store the stress results in different points as leading component, user need to enable "Store Stress Leading Results for This Point" and select normal or shear stresses for desired points.
