Line support properties

The following is a list of RAM Concept line support properties:

Elevation above slab soffit Vertical distance between the line support and the soffit.

Translation along support fixed (OFF for line of symmetry) Prevents the slab from moving along the support axis.

Translation across support fixed (ON for line of symmetry) Prevents the slab from moving across the support axis.

Translation in z-direction fixed (OFF for line of symmetry) Prevents the slab from deflecting up or down at the support axis.

Rotation about support axis fixed (ON for line of symmetry) Prevents rotation of the slab about the support’s longitudinal axis.

Rotation about perp.-to-support fixed (OFF for line of sym) Prevents rotation of the slab about the support’s transverse axis.
