2. MODELING

CHAPTER 2 "MODELLING" 69 - For vertical grids // on the X-axis : I select the grid and from the list and the column ''s'' is updated, respectively, - For vertical grids // on the Z-axis: select the grid and from the list and the column ''s'' is updated, respectively - For meshes that are not // on either X or Z if I do nothing the program will project the resulting armature by reducing it to the 2 main axes. Alternatively I can use the command . ❖ The key works in combination with the field, where you define the coordinates of the beginning and end of the line, which the program will consider as the main direction of the reinforcement, in cases where the surface is not parallel to the universal axes, hence its reinforcement. ❖ The "Cancel-Delete" field allows you to delete holes, lines, points, as well as, the properties, the mesh or its mathematical model, that you have already created and wish to delete. Then, if you select the program will recalculate the grid with the new data (e.g. if you delete the "lines" the grid will be calculated without the lines) ❖ The Create Holes at Column Positions command is for " Flat Plates " and allows automatic creation of holes in the flat plate area where there are columns. (see Chapter 9 - Flat Slabs).
