Geometry

The "Geometry" frame contains a table with a list of inputted structural sections forming the sheeting wall. For each section the table stores its cross-sectional characteristics (A – area, I – Moment of inertia) and material characteristics (E – Modulus of elasticity, G – Shear modulus – these variables are always expressed with respect to 1m of a construction length). Adding (editing) sections is performed in the "New section (Edit section)" dialog window.

The program allows for adding (inserting) another section in between two already existing sections of a structure. Inserting a new section is performed in the "Insert section" dialog window that complies with the "New section" dialog window. The inserted section is ordered such as to precede the currently selected section of a structure.

The inputted sections can be further edited on the desktop with the help of active objects – double clicking on a structure opens a dialog window with a given section.

The program makes it possible to export the geometry of a structure in the *.DXF format.
