Dynamic Bracing - Bracing Catalogues tab

Databases may be generated for the tension elements of all three types. The terms and dimensions can be loaded from these databases. An additional folder “Bracing Catalogues” will be displayed where you can select a dBASE-file.

After selection of a valid file, you can choose a tension element for the different versions from a selection list.  This element is defined in the database. The dialog entries will then be filled with the corresponding values.
