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.
Manage girders and brick blocks separately:
You can manage girders and brick blocks separately by selecting this option. Please note this setting will fundamentally impact the data created as well as the way the program works.
If you select the Manage girders and brick blocks separately check box, the entries on the Panel widths are blocked and the entries under Brick types are released in the Panel Type Catalog.
Slab thickness:
The standard value for slab thickness.
Concrete topping:
Thickness of concrete layer placed over the bricks.
Max. panel length:
Maximum panel length; depending on the panel type selected, if the maximum panel length entered is exceeded when creating the slab, the message Maximum panel length exceeded will appear. All of the affected girders or even brick blocks will feature the text for Illegal geometry (typically a -G-) instead of the normal label row.
Note: If the value for Max. panel length is kept at 0 mm retain, a general limit of 9.99 m will then be assumed for the maximum panel length.
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.
Rib width (for calculation only):
Value for structural calculations with the Italian SolCalc calculation program.
"Panel lengths/girders" tab
Round off element length: 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.
Girder type:
Selection box of the lattice girder catalog. You can only choose from lattice girders of the Baseboard girder type.
Round off girder length:
Lattice girder lengths will be rounded up to this value.
Use double girder:
If the check box for Manage girders and brick blocks separately is selected, you can choose the Use double girder option. If this is selected, the program will automatically create two rows of girders in between each brick block.
Brick leaf for girder
Brick type 1 / 2:
The program creates the brick leaf for the girder from the best combination of the references to the brick/tile catalog specified for Brick type 1 and Brick type 2. You can only choose from slab bricks of the Brick with baseboard - flat type.
"Panel widths" tab
The entries on this table are unavailable if the Manage girders and brick blocks separately option is not selected.
Dimensions:
At least one entry must be of the Whole panel type. An entire "slab element" always consists of girders (single or double girder) + row of bricks. In addition, you must enter all possible fitted panel widths. Fitted panels consist of one brick or one girder. If, for example, a placing region requires several girders to be placed side by side at its start or end, the program places them automatically. You do not need to enter a fitted panel with two, three, or more girders.
The program tries to create a valid design based on these entries, the support adjustment between the minimum and maximum support, the variant selected for the start and end of the design, and the in-situ concrete variant for fitted panels.
to insert a new entry above the selected entry in the table.
to add an entry to the end of the table.
to delete the entry selected in the table.If the Use cut bricks option is selected, the program can cut the last row of bricks in a placement. If the Min. brick width is complied with, the program does not automatically adjust the supports parallel to the direction of span.
If you have not specified a Cut brick type, the program uses the brick type specified for a "whole panel".
"Brick types" tab
The entries on this table are only available if the Manage girders and brick blocks separately option is selected.
Brick types when management of girders and brick blocks is turned on:
The Standard, Half, Subpressure and Cutting stones as well as the min. brick width are defined here.
Note: The subpressure bricks are used for the Design start with vacuum panel and Design start with vacuum panel by girder options.
"Cross ribs" tab
Brick type:
You can select a brick type defined in the brick/tile catalog. The program uses these bricks for cross ribs created automatically. You can only choose from bricks of the Suspended brick - flat type.
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.
Offsets
You can define cross ribs to be created automatically in accordance with the element length. The width of the ribs is equivalent to the width of one brick. Define the number of ribs in the Number of cross ribs box. The position of the bricks is defined by the absolute value for the rib spacing (Absolute spacing type) or by the 1/nth of length spacing type. Use the Spacing value box to enter the absolute value in [mm] or the value n.
to insert a new entry above the selected entry in the table. to add an entry to the end of the table. to delete the entry selected in the table.Reinforcement
These entries are intended for future use (automatic creation of cross rib reinforcement). They have no effect at the moment.
"->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.
