Thicknesses

In the Thicknesses table of the 'Steel Design' category, all thicknesses that you have created in the model are listed.

Table "Thicknesses" for Steel Design
Table "Thicknesses" for Steel Design

The font color of the thicknesses provides information about the usage of the thickness. The colors mean:

  • black: Thickness is suitable for design and is used for the objects to be designed
  • blue: Thickness is not used in the model
  • gray: Thickness is not used for the objects to be designed

Remove Thicknesses from Design

For any valid thickness, you can exclude all surfaces from the steel design to which this thickness is assigned by deactivating the 'To be designed' checkbox. The surfaces will then be sorted into the 'Invalid / deactivated' column in the table To Be Designed Objects and will not be considered in the design.

Adjust Thickness

If necessary, you can adjust the properties of a thickness in the edit dialog. Double-click on the row of the thickness or click the button Open Editing Dialog Box in the table toolbar.

Info

The surface thickness affects the internal forces but has no influence on the stress verification itself. Therefore, a design with thicknesses specifically adapted for the add-on is not intended.
