Specifications

Beam ID

Coupling Beam name is created by placing BK index in front of the number entered here (such as BK1, BK15). The program increments these names in the order in which the beams are drawn. The coupling beam names can also be changed after the coupling beams are drawn. The changed beam names do not have to be K. Any name can be used.

Width

The coupling beam width is entered. Beam width refers to the width of the beam in plan. The beam width is smaller than the beam height in drooping beams and larger in inclined beams.

Height

The beam height is entered. The beam height determines the height of the beam starting from the floor ceiling, downwards. While entering the beam height, the floor height and lower wall heights should be taken into account. Because these heights are under user control. The program does not make any automatic adjustments.

Elevation

The vertical distance (elevation) of the upper face of the beam measured from the floor base. It can be either (+) or (-) value. Enter (+) for inverse beam and (-) for lower beam.

Pattern

It is the scan type that applies to the beam. Clicking on Scan opens the Scan Settings dialog. In this dialog, the desired scan type is selected from the scan types table by clicking the left mouse button on the scan type. Scanning color and ground color boxes are scrolled on the color palette that is opened by clicking with the left mouse button and holding down the button. The button is released when the desired color is reached. The color box turns into the selected color. If clicked together with the Shift key, the pen thickness of the relevant color can be adjusted. Clicking the OK button closes the dialog and returns to the beam settings dialog. The scan type selected in the active scan box is displayed with the selected colors.

Color

The beam is the color of the border lines. The color palette is scrolled by clicking and holding down the left mouse button. The button is released when the desired color is reached. The color box turns into the selected color. If clicked together with the Shift key, the pen thickness of the relevant color can be adjusted. Pen thickness is not noticeable on the screen. The drawing is valid when drawn on paper.

Line type

The line type of the line forming the tie beam is selected in the plan. Clicking the down arrow buttons to the right of the boxes opens the list of line types. From this list, the desired line type is selected by clicking with the left mouse button.

Delta

These are the options that determine where the beam will be defined. If the virtual beam axis that connects the joints at the two ends of the beam will coincide with the upper edge of the beam, the upper edge is selected, if it coincides with the lower edge, the lower option is selected, and if it passes through the middle of the beam, the middle option is selected. If the virtual beam axis will pass through another line, the Defined option is selected and the distance (meter) according to the upper edge of the beam is entered in the lower data entry box. The distance given should not be more than the beam thickness.

Material

The material to be covered on the beams in the solid model is selected. The beam is covered with the selected material and displayed in the solid model like this. Click on the down arrow button with the left mouse button. The appropriate material is selected from the opened material list. If there is no defined item, the list is blank. Adding material is done from the dialog that opens by clicking the Settings / Materials line.

Texture word length

Text length is entered. For example; If 1 is entered, the selected material texture width is taken as 1 meter and covered on the selected object. Considering that the texture is in the form of a square, the object surfaces are covered with 1x1 textures arranged side by side.

Structural/Concrete Tab

Specifications

Structural material

Select the static material to be used in the beam element from the list. Static material can be defined as a reinforced concrete element under Materials in Building Tree.

Override section parameters

The section and geometric properties of the element are determined automatically and these are the values ​​in accordance with the regulations. However, if you want to change the element section properties, mark this line and give the relevant values ​​to the program. The program automatically calculates zero values ​​and accepts non-zero entries as much as the entered value.

2 axis moment of inertia

The element is the minor moment of inertia. I = b 3 h / 12
For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, the moment of inertia of the 2 axes is calculated as 25.25.25.50 / 12 = 65104 cm 4 .

3 axis moment of inertia

The element is the major moment of inertia. I = bh 3 /12 50/25 For example, in a column three axis rectangular moment of inertia 50.50.50.25 / 12 = 260416 cm 4 is calculated as.

Torsional moment of inertia

It is the moment of inertia that defines the torsional stiffness of the element.

Cross-sectional area

It is the cross-sectional area value of the element. For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, the cross section area of ​​the element is 50.25 = 1250 cm 2 .

Cutting area in 2 direction

The element is the cutting area in the minor direction. Cutting area = 5/6. b. d For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, 5 / 6.50.25 = 1041 cm2

Cutting area in 2 direction

The element is the cutting area in the major direction.
Cutting area = 5/6 b d

Components Tab

Add Building Components: Assigns the projected building materials to the object for detailed building components metrics.

  • Click on the building components button.

  • The Component Selection dialog will open.

  • In this dialog, click on the folder related to the material from the list on the left. Click on the material you want to use.

  • Set the parameters on the right.

  • Click the OK button. The "Component Selection" dialog will be closed. A summary line of the material will appear in the Building Components tab. More than one material assignment can be made to an object.

The parameters available in the component selection dialog are:

In the usage section

No modification: The amount of material to be assigned for the object in question is marked when it is desired to be used in the size that was previously specified in the material definition.

Percentage: This line is marked when it is desired to be used with the percentage of the amount previously determined in the material definition, as much as the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog. For example, if the material quantity is 70, if the line “Value 1” says 40, it means the material amount will be used up to 40 * 70%.

Override: This line is marked so that the quantity entered in the “Value 1” line in the same dialog will be used instead of the quantity previously determined in the material definition.

Multiplier: This line is marked in order to use the value found at the end of the multiplication of the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog with the amount previously determined in the material definition.

Fraction: This line is marked so that the amount determined in the material definition before will be used as the fraction value created by the values ​​entered in the "Value 1" and "Value 2" lines in the same dialog. "Value 1" is the denominator "Value 2" is the denominator.

Proportional to: It is determined to what scale-area, circumference, length etc.-, region-side area, top, edge etc.- the material will be proportioned to. The content of the proportional list box is automatically determined according to the object and the size of the material. For example, a different list will be created if an operation is made for the column, a different list will be created for the library, a different list for the volume, and a different list for the field.

The lines that appear in the Proportion list according to the beam object and material size are as follows.
