Layout - Westok CELLBEAM - Assign Cell Size

The Assign Cell Size command is relevant only to Westok CELLBEAM and is used only by RAM Steel. This command is used to specify a cell diameter and/or pitch.

Selecting the Layout - Westok CELLBEAM - Assign Cell Size command opens the Assign Cell Size dialog box. The dialog box gives the option to independently assign a diameter or pitch or to assign both the diameter and pitch. Selecting the check boxes next to Diameter or Pitch enables the entry fields in the dialog box . When only the Pitch is selected, the program will determine the smallest optimum diameter. When only the Diameter is selected, the program will determine the largest optimum pitch. When both are selected, the user specifications are used in the design.

Click either Single or Fence.
