EXAMPLE 5. NEW BUILDING DESIGN FROM LOAD-BEARING MASONRY

EXAMPLE 5: 'DESIGN OF A LOAD-BEARING MASONRY BUILDING' 25 OBSERVATIONS: If a surface is flat you need to activate the checkbox It is recommended not to define very small surfaces. When there are successive surfaces, it is good that there are no large differences in the dimension of the surface element between these successive surfaces. The ratio of surface element thickness to surface element width not be disproportionate. 2.8 Definition of the outer limit of the pavement and the corresponding grid From the Basic Module select "Line" and with the help of the pulls draw the lines under doors to close the outline of the floor plan at foundation level 0. Return to the Modelling Section, select the command "3D External Boundary" and with the left mouse button point to all the contour lines in sequence. Complete the process by pressing the right mouse button. The window entitled "Insert Surface" appears on the surface, where you set the parameters of the paving grid: - type a name in the Description ( CITY SETTING) - select from the list "Plate O.E.F" (on rubber ground) - enter the spring constant Ks (Ks=0.5 Mpa/cm) - Here, Width and Thickness (30, 50) - press the OK button.
