| Select All |
Check this option to check all the following integrity check options.
Cleaning this will alternatively clear all selections. When a mix of
selections is made, then this check box displays a partial fill. |
| Nodes
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Orphan
|
Check this option to check for nodes
which are not connected to any other model entity (i.e.,
"orphan nodes").
|
| Duplicate
|
Any nodes closer together than the
tolerance value will be replaced with a single node. This node is then
reconnected with model objects previously connected to the duplicate nodes.
Note: The tolerance is set using the
Merge nodes tolerance value on the
Options dialog Analysis model tab.
|
|
| Members
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Zero length
|
Check this option to check for
members which connect effectively duplicate nodes. A member whose length falls
below the tolerance value will be considered zero length.
Note: The tolerance is set using the
Merge nodes tolerance value on the
Options dialog Analysis model tab.
|
| Duplicate
|
Check this option to check for
members where respective end nodes are within the tolerance value.
Note: The tolerance is set using the
Merge nodes tolerance value on the
Options dialog Analysis model tab.
|
| Overlap
|
Check this option to check for
overlapping, collinear members.
|
|
| Surfaces
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Warped
|
Check this option to check for
warped surfaces. Warping is defined as the local z distance of any node (i.e.,
perpendicular to the plane of the surface) that is greater than the tolerance
value.
Note: The tolerance is set using the
Out of plane tolerance value on the
Options dialog Analysis model tab.
|
| Duplicate
|
Check this option to check for
surfaces where respective vertex nodes are within the tolerance value.
Note: The tolerance is set using the
Merge nodes tolerance value on the
Options dialog Analysis model tab.
|
| Overlap
|
Check this option to check for
overlapping surfaces in the same plane.
|
| Invalid geometry |
Check this option to check for invalid surface geometry. If a
model has been imported with invalid geometry or if a surface
has been manually edited incorrectly (e.g., a surface with
incorrect node order), this will check for any such
surfaces.Note: STAAD.Pro Physical Modeler does not
allow for invalid geometry to be created using the graphical
tools.
|
|
| Openings |
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Duplicate |
Check this option to check for duplicate openings. For polygonal
openings, this is where respective vertex nodes are within the
tolerance value. For circular openings, this is where center
point and radius are within the tolerance value. |
| Overlap |
Check this option to check for overlapping openings (either
polygonal or circular) in the same plane. |
| Invalid geometry |
Check this option to check for invalid opening geometry. If a
model has been imported with invalid geometry or if a opening
has been manually edited incorrectly, this will check for any
such openings. Invalid geometry may include:
- polygonal openings with incorrect node order
- circular openings with zero radius
- openings without a surface reference
- openings that lie outside the reference surface
- openings that are not in a surface plane
- circular openings with less than six facets
- circular openings that intersect surface limits/edges,
region edges, or reference lines
|
|
| Regions |
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Duplicate |
Check this option to check for regions where respective vertex
nodes are within the tolerance value. |
| Invalid geometry |
Check this option to check for invalid region geometry. If a
model has been imported with invalid geometry or edited
incorrectly, this will check for any such regions. Invalid
geometry may include:
- invalid surface region node connectivity
- regions without a surface reference
- warped surface regions
- regions that lie outside the reference surface
