Upgrade from 2D to 1D project

2D-1D Upgrade is a special export function which is available for beams of prefab slab and integration strips.

This export function enables the user to select one or several beams from the slab and export them to a separate project including load cases, combinations and calculated internal forces that are exported as a load the exported beam is subjected to.

The user can control the export through a set of parameters.

Type of export	Specifies the way of generation of 1D project
Effective width slab	If ON, the effective width of the slab is taken into account and the beam is exported as a T-section. If OFF, the beam is exported with the cross-sections that was specified for it in the project.
Export into Frame XZ	(available only if just one beam is exported) If ON, the exported project is of Frame XZ type.
Export to UCS from member 1D	If ON, the origin of the UCS in the exported project is set to the origin of the LCS of the exported beam.
Change self weight to standard LC	If ON, the load type of the LC with type Self-weight is in the exported project changed to Standard.
Upgraded internal forces	If ON, the calculated internal forces are exported. If OFF, only the geometry is exported.
Load cases, Combinations	(available only if Upgraded internal forces is set to ON) The user can select which load cases and combinations are exported.

Type of export

The options for parameter Type of export are described below

New project	A new project is created and beam is exported into that
From template	The user selects existing SEN project (template) which has to contain only one 1D member. During the export the existing beam in the template is updated and stored as a new project

From template

This group of parameters is available only if the above-mentioned parameter Type of export is set to From template.

Template	Selection of a template (existing SEN project)
Target directory	Defines a directory where will be stored generated projects with exported 1D members
Filename prefix	Defines a prefix of a project name(created from a 1D member name) which will be generated
Filename suffix	Defines a suffix of a project name(created from a 1D member name) which will be generated
Length export by	If Member length, a length of a member in the template is updated If Parameters, length parameters in the template are updated
Update CSS width	If ON, CSS dimension width is updated (available only for rectangular CSS)
Update CSS height	If ON, CSS dimension height is updated (available only for rectangular CSS)
