Defining the structural model

In order to use the structural model the user has to select this feature in the functionality list in the Project settings dialogue.

The structural shape may be then defined at the same time as new 1D members are inserted into the model. Or, if preferred, new 1D members may be defined without thinking about the structural model and the structural parameters may be specified later.

The procedure for adjusting the structural model for a new 1D member

  1. Start the function for the definition of a new beam.

  2. In the property table adjust the required beam parameters.

  3. At the bottom part of the table fill in the parameters of structural model.
