EXAMPLE 9. INTEGRATED EXAMPLES OF FLAT PLATES

EXAMPLE 9 - FLAT PLATES 33 The Coefficient b for the calculation of Perforation can be calculated automatically in two ways: - Automatic approximate or - Automatic theorist. The Approximate mode is a function of the position of the loaded surface and ax, ay. The Theoretical mode is a function of Torques My, Mz. The User option allows you to enter any value for Coefficient b. Finally, in the Arborization field you define the type of arrangement of the perforation reinforcement by choosing between Radial and Cruciform. For the Radial array you also set the Number of rays per quadrant. The figure below shows a quadrant of the radial array in the black box. The initial perimeter has 3 reinforcement spans, while the third perimeter is thickened to 5 spans due to constraints on the spacing between reinforcement strands. ScadaPro automatically checks whether the spacing constraints are met on the first perimeter and increases the number of reinforcement spars where required (even on the first perimeter if the number of spars selected by the user is not sufficient).
