Design Type
|
There are two types of design one is calculate dimension another is set dimension:
- Calculate Dimension – The footing size will be checked and resized to the smallest size which meets all specified loads; ranging between the minimum and maximum dimensions provided (inclusive). Calculate dimension is selected by default.
- Set Dimension – The minimum dimensions provided in this pane are used as the footing size to be checked.
|
|
Fixed Left Overhang / Right Overhang / Width
|
Select if these values are fixed lengths or if they will be optimized during the design. |
|
Minimum Left / Right Overhand Length
|
Type the minimum overhang length (direction parallel to the X axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit. |
|
Minimum Width
|
Type the width (direction parallel to the Y axis) to be used for the footing, along with unit. For a Calculate Dimension design, this is used as the minimum dimension to check. |
|
Minimum Thickness
|
Type the thickness (direction parallel to the Z axis; or out-of plan dimension) to be used for the footing, along with unit. For a Calculate Dimension design, this is used as the minimum dimension to check. |
|
Maximum Length
|
(Calculate only) Type the maximum length (direction parallel to the X axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit. |
|
Maximum Width
|
(Calculate only) Type the maximum width (direction parallel to the Z axis) to be used for the footing design, along with unit. |
|
Maximum Thickness
|
(Calculate only) Type the maximum thickness (direction parallel to the Z axis; or out-of plan dimension) to be used for the footing, along with unit. |
|
Length Increment
|
(Calculate only) Type the length and width increments to be used when performing footing design, along with unit. This allows you control over how to step footing sizes in design results. |
|
Thickness Increment
|
(Calculate only) Type the thickness increments to be used when performing footing design, along with unit. |
|
Set as Default
|
Select Yes to have the current parameter values set as the defaults for new Ribbed Beam Footing: Footing Geometry parameters.
