Cover thickness
The cover thickness of the most outside meshes and for openings can be entered here.

Zones
The beam is divided into 5 different zones, which can be defined differently.

Length
The user can enter a length for every zone.
The meshes will be placed inside this zone using a set overlap inside this zone and another at the edge to the next zone.
The meshes are placed as polygonal meshes using the length of the mesh.

Zone 3 can be used to fill the rest of the length. The user just doesn´t enter any length value in here.
The length will be calculated by the component. (Length of the beam – all other zones.)

Overlapping inside a zone
The user can define the overlapping length between all meshes inside a zone.

Overlapping between two zones
The user can define the overlapping length between meshes between two meshes.
The meshes are cut and only get ½ of the overlapping length.

Mesh
The user can define the mesh type. The name and the grade of the mesh will be shown on this tab page.
The rest of the attributes will be shown on the Attributes tab.
