Roof Panel Properties

Use the Roof Panel properties to view or modify the properties of a wall panel.

The Roof Panel command is used to create a roof panel. Once created, the panel properties can then be viewed or modified in the Properties Window:

Property Description

General

Plane

Describes the level at which the panel was placed.

Rotation angle

This value determines the following where appropriate:

  • Span direction for 1-way load decomposition
  • Orientation of semi-rigid 2D elements in the Solver Model

See: Rotation angle for slab items and panels and Modify slab/panel span direction

Include in diaphragm

The options are:

  • Checked

    The roof panel is meshed to form a diaphragm of semi-rigid 2D elements.

  • Unchecked (Default)

    No diaphragm is defined on the roof panel.

Thickness

Roof panel thickness

Youngs Modulus

Shear Modulus

Shear Modulus

Note: Only displayed if "Include in diaphragm" is checked

Temperature coefficient

Temperature coefficient.

Note: Only displayed if "Include in diaphragm" is checked

Divide Stiffness by

Used to adjust the roof panel stiffness.

Note: Only displayed if "Include in diaphragm" is checked

RoofType

The options are:

  • Default (Default)
  • Flat
  • Monopitch
  • Duopitch
  • Hip Gable
  • Hip Main
  • Mansard
Note: The default option assigns the roof panel as flat (if the slope < 5 deg) or Monopitch (if the slope is > 5 deg). You can more accurately specify the roof panel by choosing the appropriate option from the list.
Note: If the RoofType is changed after the wind model has already been established, you will need run Update Zones to reinstate the zoning.

[+] UDA

Customizable list of the attributes that can be applied to individual members and panels.
