Manipulate Model
Select the model before applying the function.
You can modify the Position and/or Rotation of the model either numerically by entering the values in the text boxes or graphically by using the arrows shown around the model. The parameters of displacement (pX, pY, pZ) and rotation (A1, A2, A3) refer to the axes of the wind tunnel: pX and A1 are the coordinates or angles in wind direction, pY and A2 the ones transversal to it, while pZ and A3 represent the vertical coordinate or angle.
Note
When the Local CS option is selected, all axes refer to the coordinate system of the original model of RSTAB/RFEM. If the model is derived from load case “Wind 90°”, for example, the coordinate system will be rotated by 90°.
Alternatively, you can move or rotate the model in the work window by selecting one of the arrows and moving it. The corresponding parameter is shown in the Current Value and Step box of the panel. There you can also set the interval Δ for the model to snap on when moving the pointer. To deactivate the graphical tool, click the empty space in the work window.
Click [Apply] to check in the graphics whether you have set the correct parameters. [Stop] or [Esc] will cancel the function.
Note
The wind tunnel is not adapted automatically to the new situation. Use the 'Wind Tunnel' dialog box where you can adjust its dimensions to the new position of the model.
