The thickness type Layers is suitable for models whose surfaces have a multi-layer structure. They are primarily used in timber construction (cross-laminated timber) and glass construction (laminated and insulating glass). You can define the layer structure line by line in the 'Layers' tab.
The chapter Input of the Multi-layer Surfaces Manual describes how to define the layers of a thickness. The layer structure of glass surfaces is explained in the chapter Input of the Glass Design Manual.
The button
allows access to a library with predefined layer structures. With the button
, you can save the current layer structure as a template, and with the button
, you can import a custom layer structure.
