Area filled with slabs (61)

Define the reference plane for the level of the filled area. 

Options:

• Max top level outside part hor plane
• Min bottom level outside parts hor plane
• Top level part hor plane
• Bottom level part hor plane
• Level horizontal plane
• Left side of parts
• Middle of parts
• Right side of parts

By using this option, the edge number can be shown in the model. The edge number will be represented using a number of dots on the edge. 

E.g.: edge number 3 will get 3 dots on the according edge.

Define the gap for the recess:

Define a vertical offset in order to create a depth recess:

Define the way the area should be filled. 

Options:

• 1 big plate - one big, massive plate will be created. This option can also be used as an extra layer. For example, an extra layer on top of the hollow core slabs or an insulation layer.
• Fill with polygon plates - the area will be filled with massive concrete plates. Dimensions (thickness and width) of those plates can be defined when choosing the option Fill with polygon plates. Choose in 1 this option and in 2 the options will become visible.
• Fill with prefab slabs - area will be filled with (hollow core) slabs which are defined on tab 1st Layer slabs.
• Fill with parametric prefab slabs - area will be filled with parametric plate profiles which are defined on the "Layer 1 param. slabs" tab.

Define the properties of the concrete plate(s) in case of 1 big plate or Fill with polygon plates chosen in option 1. 

Options:

• Thickness - field is available when 1 big plate or Fill with polygon plates is chosen.
• Width - field is available when Fill with polygon plates is chosen.
• Pos_No - define the prefix and start number of the plates.
• Material - define the material grade of the concrete plate.
• Name - define the name of the concrete plate which can be showed in drawings and reports.
• Class - define the class (color) of the concrete plate.
• Comment - define the comment of the concrete plate.
• Finish - define the finish of the concrete plate.

Options:

• Reference border - define the reference part/side of the area. See examples below.
• Show ref border - using this option reference part can be shown by a construction line or profile.
• Extra rotation - define whether the plates are placed parallel or perpendicular related to the reference part.

• Connect to 2nd - define if the profiles/plates of the first layer should be connected with the profiles/plates of the second layer. 

  Options:

  • Not
  • Weld
  • By cast unit
  • As sub-assembly

Using the pick list the opportunity is there to remove the first or the last plate. 

This depends on the option No slab if a is smaller then and No plate if b is smaller then.

It is also possible to add a gap between the plates. The options are:

This function contains options in case of skew sides in a filled area. Using these options can be decided what to do with the end of a hollow core beam having an angle other than 90 degrees,

These options do work in combination with field α, where the maximum angle can be defined.

The options for the start:

The options for the end:

Options to define an offset for the plates/profiles related to the reference part/reference side. More than 1 offset is possible. To do so: add space between the values.

The Offset position can be defined for the contour of the area and the recesses as well. 

Options:

• Middle

Image

• Outside

Image

• Inside

Image

• Variable - using this option Inside outside will become available. By using this field, it is possible to define offset separately for each border. Use the values -1 (Inside), 0 (Middle) and 1 (Outside) to define each border separately. Separate the values using a space.
• Offset - using the option Offset it is possible to move the Offset position.

Define for which profiles and in which layer the UDA's should be used. 

Options:

• nothing
• 1st Layer
• 2nd Layer
• 3rd Layer
• First and second layer
• First and third layer
• Second and third layer
• All

Select the UDA type.

Use String for text, Integer for numbers, Float for numbers with decimals and Option for selecting an item in a list. You can find the UDA type in the objects.inp file.

Enter the value to be written to the user-defined attribute here. Example:

Define to which parts (in which layer) the (reinforcement) components should be added. 

Options:

• 1st layer
• 2nd layer
• 3rd layer

Select which (reinforcement) component should be added.

The configuration file which will be define in 5, will first be used for all profiles in the filled area.

Using this option, it is also possible to define exceptions. Use a number to define which profile in the filled area should use another setting. Defining more numbers is possible, use a space to separate the numbers.
