| Change working directory |
When the program is started, the most recently used project directory is automatically allocated. This option allows for switching into an other working directory. |
| Initialize current project |
This allows initializing the project database in the current project database. Basic project date are entered in the respective input pad. |
| Open RmBridge project |
Like Change working directory, however, the program offers a list of previously executed project for selecting the appropriate. |
| Import RmBridge project |
Like Change working directory, however, the program offers a list of previously executed project for selecting the appropriate. |
| Start TCL file |
The program starts a TCL file with RunTCL (see TCL guide). |
| Open TCL file |
The program opens a TCL file with OpenTCL. A procedure from the TCL Library is started. Die TCL-Library contains pre-defined procedures, that may be extended by the user at any time (see the 'TCL Manual' for details). |
| Export RmBridge project |
The data of the project database are stored in ASCII format into a TCL file. TCL-Files are used for backup, textbased editing of project data and as extension of the RM Bridge environment as fully comprehensive script language. |
| Assign directories |
Definition of the directories where any user defined material database and/or cross-section catalogue are stored. |
| Load default database |
Reload of material database and cross-section catalogue Reloads the default database from the program directory into the project directory. All definitions accessed by 'Load Default Properties' (see above) are updated (this may be desired after an update of the RM-software package). |
| Set background image |
Only for axis alignment presentation in the Modeler. |
| Import LandXML file |
Only into the database of the Modeler. |
| Import DGN file |
Import of a drawing in DGN format (cross-section) |
| Load default properties |
Copy materials or variables from the standard database into the project database. Variables are creep, shrinkage and relaxation models. Default definitions are read from the default database and may be chosen in accordance with the national design code. In the Recalc-menu imported variables may be bypassed. In RmBridge directly coded creep and shrinkage models are then used. In this case user-defined changes in the variable definitions are ignored. |
| Reports (TDF) |
Definition of framework data for generating analysis reports and starting the report generation (TDF format). TDF-Reports are used to assemble reports in TDF-format containing text, tables, diagrams and plotfiles. Usually a TDF-Script is based on a File created by 'Start new Report' and later assembled to a TDF-Report by 'Assemble TDF Report'. |
| Examples |
Analysis of verification and demonstration examples A subdirectory of the current project directory is normally crated for performing the analysis of the demo example. However, the user may select any other directory. |
| Dynamic data exchange |
This function allows for storing data of the database in various formats for further use in other programs.
SQL Export: Data of the database are exported into an SQL database.
|
| ProjectWise Explorer |
A common datasource for distributed access is defined and data in the datasource are managed. |
| Exit RM Bridge |
