Traffic Lanes > Macro 1 list

Definition of the center line of a traffic lane by consecutive lane points.  Macro 1 creates the points in centric position on a longitudinal girder.

SettingDescription
Kw Code of the lane points created with MACRO1 (or 1X, 1Z respectively)
El-from, El-to, El-step Elements where lane points are created.
El-from, El-to, El-step Elements where lane points are created.
Phi Dynamic coefficient for this lane.
Note: The influence values are multiplied with this factor phi. This allows for instance for defining a lane related dynamic allowance (although in practice more often related to the load trains). However, if this factor is dependent  on the span length and different in different spans, the selective definition for the  individual lane points may be useful. An other possible application is a lane with variable width and uniform surface load. In this case it is advantageous to define a load train for width 1 m, and to define the  actual width at the individual lane point as factor phi.
Ndiv The number of required sub-divisions in the elements. Lane points are created at element begin, element end and any here defined subdivision points
Type The type of load application (program internal code).
Note: Lane points will be defined at the begin and the end of the element.
