'Design' configuration entry

Configuration Double wall (iWall): Design + Concrete Wall (iWall): Design + Thermal Wall (iWall) Design + Sandwich wall (iWall) Design + Composite sheeting (iWall): Design + Brick wall (iWall): Design

Initial values for wall element design.

'Parameters' tab

Additional text for mark numbers:

Additional text for mark number.

Create surfaces as:

You can specify whether the surfaces are to be created as Attributes or as Fixtures.
When you choose the Fixtures option, you must select a surface fixture for transfer to production in the Surface catalog on the Production tab.

Note: This option is not available for composite sheeting and brick wall design mode walls.

'Marks' tab

Assignment of marks:

Specify the mark numbers the program assigns to precast elements while creating them. When you modify elements later, they get the mark numbers specified here. This also applies if you have rearranged the elements manually in the meantime by using the Modify Mark Number tool.

Zero: The elements initially get the mark number zero and will be rearranged manually later.

Ascending: The elements get numbers in ascending order.

Identical: While creating elements, the program automatically checks the elements based on the following criteria:

• Identical geometry (volume, outline, recesses, ...)
• Identical element attributes (material, …)
• Identical number and position of fixtures and identical fixture attributes and variables
• Identical reinforcement (position of reinforcement in precast element, parameters, bar parameters such as bending pin diameter, hook lengths, …) and reinforcement attributes (for example, steel grade)
  

'Favorites ...' tab

[Wall type] - design type / divisions / basic reinforcement, ...:

You can specify the default favorite to be used when you Reset input parameters. The default favorites are in the '...\std\Favorites - office' folder.

'Weight calculation' tab

Note: This tab is not available for composite sheeting and brick wall design mode walls.

Calculate weight based on:

Define the option you want to use to calculate the weight of the precast element.

Option 1: The volume of the precast element will be multiplied by the value defined for Specific weight of reinforced concrete in the concrete grade catalog.

Option 2: The net concrete volume of the precast element will be multiplied by the value defined for Specific weight of concrete in the concrete grade catalog. Then the steel weight will be added to the result.
To calculate the net volume of concrete, the program subtracts the steel volume (calculated from steel weight, specific weight of steel (78.5 kN/m3)) from the volume of the precast element. When calculating the steel volume, the reinforcement in in-situ concrete layers is not recognized. Lattice girders are considered at the percentage specified below.

Option 3: The volume of the precast element will be multiplied by the value defined for Specific weight of concrete in the concrete grade catalog. Then the steel weight will be added to the result.

Note: The net volume of concrete is available as an attribute for label styles, reports and so on.
Note that reinforcement is not yet known at the time of design or division. Therefore, the weight cannot be calculated based on options 2 and 3 (division by maximum weight or consideration of crane). The preview of the label also displays the weight in accordance with option 1.
When you use options 2 and 3, the program updates the weight constantly to reflect changes you make to the outline or reinforcement of the precast element.

Consideration of lattice girders:

This parameter is not available for sandwich walls.
Specify the percentage up to which the program is to consider lattice girders when calculating the net volume of concrete.

Consider stirrup cages and bent-up meshes:

This parameter is not available for concrete walls.
Specify the percentage up to which the program is to consider stirrup cages and bent-up meshes when calculating the net volume of concrete.
Note: The bars are recognized as stirrup cages or bent-up meshes, which are defined using the Stirrup cages and Bent-up meshes functions in Secondary reinforcement, where the stirrups, longitudinal are not considered as a percentage, Bar shapein Secondary bars of any shape in Secondary reinforcement as well as Bar shape in the Bar reinforcement task area.

Update calculations of mounting hooks and lifting bolts from
Change in weight greater / Change in center of gravity greater:

If a change in weight or change in center of gravity is identified during an update, and this change is greater than the changes defined here, the installed lifting bolts will be checked to see if they are suitable for the new weight or new center of gravity. In other words, you must check to see whether the changes are smaller than or equal to the values configured here. If this is not the case, they will be re-created.

Note: The values entered in the configuration must be greater than 0.001 kg for the weight, and greater than one mm for the center of gravity. If this is not the case, the lifting bolts will not be checked.
