Recalculation

SettingDescription
Fast recalculation without evaluation of formulas The evaluation of formulas is a time criterion for the calculation. Often it is not necessary to execute this. But if variables in cross sections or tables and formulas or their assignment at segment points, resp. has been changed, the full calculation has to be done to make sure that all changes take effect.
Full recalculation including evaluation of formulas

Time consuming variant of calculation (s.above). The following options require always the evaluation of formulas.

SettingDescription
Run Hambly Iteration Further description for the Hambly algorithm: s.below!
Hambly iteration: include ß angle in calculation The gravity lines of the different parts will be optimized related to the ß-line of the whole cross section or to one of the Hambly parts. If this option is switched off, the y-coordinates are considered in the non-rotated cross section. Der Winkel ß corresponds to the direction of the principle moment.
Precast segmentation The segmentation will be executed only with a calculation inclusive evaluation of formulas and if segmentation lengths are specified at any segment point. This segmentation may be suppressed.
Additional Options
SettingDescription
Check numbering of elements and nodes The program checks if element numbers and node numbers have been used multiple times. A node number has been used multiple times, if the numbers of nodes are equal, but their positions differ.
Create Analysis Model Keep/Overwrite Analyzer model data: this option keep/overwrites Modeler data with new values in Analyzer. Schedule and other data in Analyzer will remain the same. Initialize Analyzer model structure: This option deletes existing structural Analyzer data (including assemblies, tendon element assignment, and activation). Other data related to schedule will remain the same in Analyzer. Initialize ALL analyzer data: This option deletes all existing data in Analyzer including schedules and other data. User need to save the data before proceeding with this option.
Open Analyzer after model has been generated This option opens the Analyzer part automatically.
Add schedule for self-weight and modal analysis This option generates automatic schedule for self-weight and eigen analysis to check the structural model. Desired input data for name of schedule, number of modes, etc. can be changed.
