Lining

The frame "Lining" contains a table with the list of inputted linings.  This frame becomes accessible in the program once the "Tunnel" regime is activated in the frame "Analysis methods". The "Lining - FEM" module simplifies modeling and positioning of individual tunnel linings.

The "Lining - FEM" module is an independent program used to design linings. Free points, free lines, line refinement, anchors, beams and beam loads created in this module are passed into the FEM program. Although behaving in a standard way, they cannot be edited in the FEM program. Editing is only possible in the "Lining - FEM" module.

Adding (editing) lining is performed in the "Lining - FEM" module. The following modes are available:

  • Add
 Pressing the "Add" button launches the "Lining - FEM" module which allows for creating a new lining.
  • Position
 Pressing the "Position" button opens the "Adjust lining location" dialog window, which allows for modifying coordinates of the lining location.  To adjust lining in the FEM program is possible even without launching the "Lining - FEM" module.

Dialog window "Adjust lining location"

  • Modify
 Pressing the "Modify" button launches the "Lining - FEM" module, which allows for editing the selected lining
  • Remove
 Pressing the "Remove" button opens the dialog window for confirming this action – upon accepting the selected lining is removed

The lining can also be modified, positioned and removed using the mouse. This inputing mode is activated by clicking an appropriate button on the horizontal tool bar "Lining". After choosing a particular mode the lining is selected on the desktop using the left mouse button. To continue follow the steps already described above.

Further details are available in chapter "active objects".
