'General' tab

Created on:

Date of creation of the data record.

Last modified:

The most recent modification date.

Name:

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

Description:

You can enter any name. This name is displayed in the Type list box of the basic parameters for slab element design.

Standard panel width:

[mm] Default value for the panel width. This value is used for uncut panels in element design.

Max. panel length:

[mm] Maximum value for the panel length. If this value is exceeded during the design process, the program will issue a message.

Thickness of topping slab:

[mm] Default value for the thickness of the topping slab.

Longit. section of topping slab:

Selection box for the joint section catalog. These sections are used for element design and cannot be modified. All the edges to which you assign the longitudinal section are given the Smooth edge or Stop position attribute.
To assign this attribute to a panel edge without profiling, you need to define a "smooth" section in the joint section catalog and assign it here.

You can define how sections are displayed and labeled in the configurations.

'Ribs' tab

Number, type and position of ribs. You can define up to six areas.

Number:

Number of ribs for the current area.

Type:

Selection box for the rib catalog.

x offset:

[mm] Axis spacing between ribs and the panel edge or the axis of the last rib in the x direction for the current area.

'Fitted panels' tab

Fitted panel width from b1 to b2:

You can specify limits for the width of a cut panel in a table. In addition, you can specify whether the topping slab is cut on one side or on both sides (= symmetrical distribution of ribs).
When the ribs are distributed asymmetrically, the offset specified for the first rib is always applied to one side of the panel.

If the minimum value for the panel width cannot be met, the program will create an invalid element, two fitted panels or a strip made of in-situ concrete (depending on your settings).

• Click to insert a new entry in front of the selected entry in the table.
• Click to add an entry to the end of the table.
• Click to delete the entry selected in the table.
• To change the fitted panel widths and distribution of ribs, click the relevant line in the table and enter new values in the boxes and/or change the setting of the symmetrical option.
  

'Copes' tab

Dimensions:

When you replace individual slab elements with higher elements in a placing region, the program automatically creates copes as it retains the top level of the slab.
You can define the length and angle of copes for individual areas of the support length (from - to) in a table.

• Click to insert a new entry in front of the selected entry in the table.
• Click to add an entry to the end of the table.
• Click to delete the entry selected in the table.
• To change the cope parameters, click the relevant cope and enter new values in the boxes.
  

'->Fact.' tab

Assignment of the individual entries to the relevant factories.

The selected entry is applicable to the selected factories. If no factory is selected, the entry is valid for all the factories.
