There are two variants of 3D frame
available in SCIA Engineer: a regular orthogonal frame and a "tapering"
one. For both variants a dialogue of the same type is opened and must
be filled in.
3D Frame parameters
Name
The name is used for unique and straightforward
identification of the catalogue block.
Dimensions
The dimensions define the size and consequently
also the shape of the frame. Meaning of individual dimension parameters
can be clearly seen on the accompanying picture.
Cross-section
Three different cross-sections must be defined
for this type of catalogue block. Each cross-section is used for
members oriented in one direction: along X-axis, along Y-axis,
along Z-axis.
