Command Description
Settings - Opens the Design Settings dialog.
Calalogue - Add and delete piles from your pile catalogue or edit their properties (e.g. compression and tension capacity).
Pad Base Column - Create a pad foundation under a column. These can only be created at the column support node and are only valid while both the member and the support exist.

See also: Create pad bases

Strip Base Wall - Create a strip foundation under a concrete shear wall. These can only be created at the supported level of the wall and are only valid while the associated wall exists.

See also: Create strip bases

Pile Cap Column - Create a pile cap foundation under a column. These can only be created at the column support node and are only valid while both the member and the support exist.

See also: Create pile caps

Design Pad Bases - Design pad bases to all valid combinations based on their individual 'auto-design' settings.
Note: Design Pad Bases does not perform an analysis before the design - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

See also: Design or check all pad bases and strip bases

Design Pile Caps - Design pile caps to all valid combinations based on their individual 'auto-design' settings.
Note: Design Pile Caps does not perform an analysis before the design - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

Minimum Area - Create a minimum polygon area mat under selected objects (window to select all objects) including a defined overhang dimension.

See also: Create mats

Rectangular - Create a minimum rectangular area mat under selected objects including a defined overhang dimension (window to select all objects). Set the angle of the rectangle, or use absolute minimal area option.

See also: Create mats

Strip - Create a strip of mat between selected points with a defined width and end extension
Area - Create a polygon area mat by selecting perimeter points and including a defined overhang dimension.

See also: Create mats

Bays - Create a mat by selecting bays bounded by grid lines.

See also: Create mats

Mat Opening - Create an opening in a mat foundation.

See also: Create slab or mat openings

Mat Overhang - Create an overhang at the edge of a mat.
Mat Split - Split mats into smaller panels for the purposes of pattern loading and mat design.

See also: Split and join slabs and mats

Mat Join - Join mats to create larger panels for the purposes of pattern loading and mat design.

See also: Split and join slabs and mats

Pile - Create a pile under a mat foundation.

See also: Place an individual pile in a mat

Pile Array - Create a pile array under a mat foundation.

See also: Place a pile array in a mat

Design Mats - Design ground bearing and piled mat foundations for out-of-plane bending to all valid combinations based on their individual 'auto-design' setting.
Note: Design Mats does not perform an analysis before the design - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

See also: Design or check all mats in the model

Design Patches - Design slab patches for out-of-plane slab bending to all valid combinations based on their individual 'auto-design' setting.
Note: Design Patches does not perform an analysis before the design - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

See also: Design or check all patches in the model

Punching Check - Creates a punching check associated with the punching object.

See also:

Design Punching Shear - Check of all punching shear checks in the model.
Note: Design Punching Shear does not perform an analysis before the check - it always uses the existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of Date').

See also: Design and check punching shear
