6. SLABS

CHAPTER 6 "SLABS" 4 Introduction The "Insert" command group contains the commands that allow the user to insert the plates into the study. IMPORTANT OBSERVATION: A prerequisite for the introduction of plates is the existence of the mathematical model of the study. For the application of the commands of the "Plates" field, the two-dimensional representation of the vector is recommended. The commands shall be applied on a level- by-level basis. 1.1 Parameters Enter in mm the minimum slab thickness and coating. If you are importing Zoellner type plates, please enter their respective geometric characteristics. The lower part of the window concerns the Sandstone slabs and here we define both their characterization and the Chaloboam slabs. A detailed description of the Sandwich Slabs can be found in the corresponding manual (see User Manual D. Design of Sandwich Slabs).
