10C. DIMENSIONING PART 3/4

CHAPTER 10C 'DIMENSIONING' 16 If you want to have the same parameters for all members of the layer, you set them once with the procedure we will see below, keep the default name "Beams" and press the "Apply to all members of the layer" button. The checks will be done with the same parameters for all members of the layer. In the different case that you want to set different parameters for some of members of the layer, you will set another set of parameters using the procedure explained below. But first we will look at how the parameters are defined. Selecting the " Parameters " button will display the following dialog box: The "Group Name" field contains the name of the parameter group. If you want to create your own group, enter a new name and press the "Create New Group" button. In the "Safety factor" field you can set the threshold against which the program checks the ratio of the design value (the intensive value) to the corresponding strength of the member. The default value is 1. In the field "Intensity limit" there is the limit of the intensive sizes below which the program does not take the intensive sizes into account.
