‘Cast-in nut height 1’ + ‘Cast-in nut height 2’ tabs
You can calculate two separate cast-in nut heights with different parameters (e.g., for proprietary supports). Depending on the parameter, one or two cast-in nuts are generated. The cast-in nut you select in the first tab is used for both height definitions.
Fixture
Click Manage... and select a cast-in nut in the wall assembly parts subfolder. Confirm by clicking OK. The name of the selected cast-in nut is displayed beside Name.
Leaf
Specifies the leaf (side) into which the cast-in nuts are built.
Invisible: the cast-in nuts are built into the "invisible" leaf (side) as seen from the mark number.
Visible: the cast-in nuts are built into the "visible" leaf (side) as seen from the mark number.
Both: the cast-in nuts are built into both sides.
C-i nuts/height
Arrangement
One cast-in nut at center of gravity: one cast-in nut (per height specified) is placed on the centroidal axis. Consequently, the Horizontal offset has no effect anymore.
Two cast-in nuts: two cast-in nuts are placed, each offset by one quarter of the panel width from the centroidal axis outwards. The cast-in nuts can be moved by the value specified for Horizontal offset.
Two cast-in nuts at fixed edge offset: two cast-in nuts are placed at the specified Horizontal offset from the panel edge.
Horizontal offset
You can move the cast-in nuts horizontally. The use of this value varies depending on the setting in the Arrangement area:
One cast-in nut at center of gravity: the value entered for horizontal offset has no effect.
Two cast-in nuts: the cast-in nuts are offset outwards by the value specified. Enter 0 to position the cast-in nuts directly under the lifting devices. Negative values move the cast-in nuts inwards.
Two cast-in nuts at fixed edge offset: the cast-in nuts are offset from the panel edge inwards by the value specified.
Limiting length
If the element length exceeds this value, then the Number of cast-in nuts specified is calculated for the precast wall.
Limiting weight
If the element weight exceeds this value, then the Number of cast-in nuts specified is calculated for the precast wall.
Number
Number of cast-in nuts to be calculated if the Limiting length and/or Limiting weight are exceeded. Depending on the setting in the Arrangement area, the additional cast-in nuts are placed as follows:
One cast-in nut at center of gravity: additional cast-in nuts are not created.
Two cast-in nuts: the offset between the cast-in nut that is not moved and the element edge is distributed evenly in accordance with the number specified. The additional cast-in nuts are moved inwards by this offset.
Two cast-in nuts at fixed edge offset: the offset between the cast-in nut that is not moved and the centroidal axis is distributed evenly in accordance with the number specified. The additional cast-in nuts are moved inwards by this offset.
Minimum offset to openings / element edges
Minimum values defining the offset between cast-in nuts and openings as well as cast-in nuts and element edges. If these minimum values are exceeded, the cast-in nuts are moved. Using the configuration, you can specify whether displacement is horizontal only or in any direction.
Cast-in nut height
Select this check box if you want to carry out a calculation for the relevant height. You can see a sketch in the Preview on the right.
Limiting height for different calculation
For wall heights up to this limit, the program uses a different set of parameters than for walls exceeding this height (see next parameter).
Wall height greater/less than or equal to limit
Based on fixed height: the value specified for the cast-in nut height is mandatory. A negative value is measured from the top; otherwise from the bottom.
As a percentage of panel height: the cast-in nut height is calculated as a percentage of the wall height.
