Assign Gravity Beam Fixity

The Assign Gravity Beam Fixity dialog is used to assign fixity conditions to concrete, gravity beams in RAM Concrete Analysis mode.

The command is only available for beams. The dialog box contains three groups of option buttons: one for the major axis, one for the minor axis and one for torsion. The left set of option buttons in each group pertains to the left end of the beam (lower left node in plan view) while the right set of option buttons in each group pertains to the right end of the beam.

Setting	Description
Assign group	Single will assign fixity to a selected concrete, gravity beam. Fence will assign fixity to all concrete, gravity beams in a fenced area. All will assign fixity to all concrete gravity beams in the model.

Note that fixity is automatically shown on the appropriate member types when this command is issued. To permanently view member fixity select the appropriate option from the View > Members Dialog.

Note that fixity conditions can also be assigned when beam line numbers are assigned as described in the Assign Beam Line Number command.
