Date the record was last changed.

Name:

You can enter any name. You can find this name in the Type list box of the basic parameters for slab element design if the Description box is empty. Thus, you can enter a short name for the catalog and a detailed description for the design.

Description:

You can enter any name. You can find this name in the Type list box of the basic parameters for slab element design.

Brick type:

You can select a brick type defined in the brick/tile catalog. These bricks are used for element design. You can use the Change Hollow Blocks, Concrete Strips, Filling Objects, Bricks tool to modify the bricks.
You can define how bricks look in the brick/tile catalog.

Slab thickness:

The standard value for slab thickness.

Concrete topping:

Thickness of concrete layer placed over the bricks.

Dead weight for simplified calculation:

When you enter a value that is not equal to 0,000 [to/m2], the program uses a simplified method to compute the weight. In this case, the program computes the weight of the element by multiplying the weight of the panel area by the value for the dead weight specified here. To compute the volume, the program divides the computed weight by the Weight of the brick/m3 in the Brick/tile catalog.

Use half bricks:

When you select this check box, the program also uses element widths of which the specified brick is divided (halved) in the middle.

"Panel widths" tab

Dimensions:

At least one element width must be of the Whole panel type. In addition, you must enter all possible fitted panel widths.

The program tries to create a valid design based on these element widths, the support adjustment between the minimum and maximum support, and the in-situ concrete variant for fitted panels.

“->Fact.” tab

Assignment of entries to factories.

The selected entry applies to the selected factories only. If no factory is selected, the entry applies to all factories.
