Support Geometry

The information in this section locates all the supports along the beam line with their type and dimensional properties.

SettingDescription
Length, Width and Depth For Column supports the Length is the column dimension parallel to the beam line and the depth is not applicable so it is designated as NA.

For Beam supports the Length is the beam width, the Depth is the full beam depth and the Width is not applicable.

For Wall supports the Length is the wall thickness, the Depth and Width are not applicable.

The report has two additional sections that tabulate the critical points for the flexure, shear and torsion diagrams for the full beam line
