10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 55 • EXTENSION OF POINTS ABOVE THE DIAGRAM By entering values of intensive quantities in the corresponding fields and clicking , the program finds the point with the given coordinates, draws the straight line segment that connects it to the origin of the axes (orange section) and extends it until it meets the envelope (blue section), indicating the corresponding values of the strengths N, My and Mz of the intersection point (values useful for Pushover). • THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATION OF THE INTERACTION DIAGRAM Activate the checkbox and select an intensive size for for the color display. By selecting My, the diagram is coloured along the y-axis. The colour gradient defines the range of the intersections, according to the bar on the right. The horizontal bar at bottom indicates the maximum and minimum values of all three intensities.
