RM Bridge Cast Help

Nodes tab

Two lists in the upper part of the screen will show X, Y, Z coordinates of each node (it is usually close to the central control point) of selected casting set. Segment will then contain exactly two of these nodes (one at the beginning and one at the end). You can see the nodes as yellow cubes in 3d view plot on the right side (it is the same as the view in General tab). The upper list shows the ideal setup values (which were calculated beforehand), the list below shows the actual values which were cast.

List in the bottom part of the screen will show coordinates of camber (how the segment will be affected by creep, shrinkage and relaxation - it is computed by RM Bridge). They are X, Y, Z and also rotation at axis X, Y and Z.

By checking Include camber you will include camber in both lists - the camber values will be added to coordinates of control points.

For the help for the 3D view and buttons below, see help for General tab.
