Structure view with concrete FEM is only available when the technical module "Concrete link FEM plate" (282) – is a part of the license. Requirements: concrete as the material and at least one persistent and/or accidental load combination should be defined.
Zoom window:
Used to enlarge the Structure View. The size of the View can be from 10% to 500%. After selecting this button, point one of the corners of the new view and drag the mouse (while keep pressing the mouse button) to the second corner. After releasing the mouse button, MatrixFrame® will enlarge the new view. Location: Structure View
Fit to window:
Fit structure view to graphical window. Used to scale the structure to the largest zoom %, so it will fit into the window. Zooming effect depends on the current size of the window. Location: Structure View
Dynamic view:
Display freely rotated structure view: keep the left mouse button pressed down and move the cursor on the screen. Location: Structure view / Solid view
Orthogonal view: view XY plane
Used to review custom rotated structure view. This view is performed by moving mouse or pressing Up/Down and left/right arrow keys. Location: Structure view / Solid view
Isometric view:
Used to review isometric view of a structure
Location: Structure view / Solid view
Local directions: used to apply some polygonal zone with predefined local directions
Combined Moments (Mx+Mxy, My+Mxy)
Reinforcement moment for the benefit of the required reinforcement at the top/bottom side in the X' or Y' direction [kNm/m]
Reinforcement: used to apply multi-layer principal and/or secondary reinforcement on local direction zone(s) or the whole plate
Required reinforcement As;req Bottom,X: at the bottom side in the X’-direction [mm2/m]
Required reinforcement As;req Bottom,Y: at the bottom side in the Y’-direction [mm2/m]
Required reinforcement As;req Top,X: at the top side in the X’-direction [mm2/m]
Required reinforcement As;req Top,Y: at the top side in the Y’-direction [mm2/m]
As;req X:
Required reinforcement in the local X’-direction [mm2/m]
As;req Y:
Required reinforcement iin the local Y’-direction [mm2/m]
Reinforcement legend
Concrete shear check (X, Y, uX, uY)
Value Range:
Define value range of displayed results
Structure view purpose: to define polygonal zones with predefined local directions and reinforcement.
