2. MODELING

CHAPTER 2 "MODELLING" 83 2. We select the type of masonry from the pop-up menu or click on ¨Type¨ to open the masonry library and define a wall of our own, defining lithosome, mortar and compressive and tensile strengths. 3. We define the geometry of the wall graphically by selecting Pick and h1, h2 and showing the start, end points and heights at the 2 edges of the wall, with the help of pulls and left click. The fields are filled in automatically, and manual entry of values is also allowed. 4. In addition, the fields of the constants E, G, e are filled in automatically, with the possibility of modification by the user, as well as the values L and Angle. 5. ¨Max sender. Cat. The maximum distance between the bars is determined by the maximum distance between the vertical ribbed elements for the simulation of the equivalent frame columns. Keeping the value 0, the program calculates it by KADET. The user can specify a value of his own and then the program will take it into account. 6. ¨Diasma¨: I activate the checkbox when there is a tier and via the command ¨Cross-section selection¨ define the cross-section of the partition. Then, we indicate the distance of the diaphragm from the crown of the wall.
