Foundations ribbon
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existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of
Date'). |
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existing analysis results, (even if the analysis status is 'Out of
Date'). See also:Design or check all pile caps |
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 |
