Cross section: Reference set

The reference points are summarized in groups of them. These groups may contain any number of points.

The groups are used for the input of

  • reinforcements
  • stress points
  • positions of bearings, springs, connected segments (e.g. piers)
  • temperature distribution within the cross section

Stress points and connection points need only the input of single points, but reinforcement points may be combined to polygons.

A selected group can be deleted using the Delete tool. A confirmation is required.
