Resize Model
Select the model before applying the function.
You can modify the Dimensions 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 (dX, dY, dZ) refer to the axes of the wind tunnel: dX is the axis in the wind direction, dY the one transversal to it, while dZ represents the vertical axis. If the dimensions are entered manually, the centre of gravity is retained when resizing.
Note
Please note that the axes refer to the original model of RSTAB/RFEM. If the model is derived from load case “Wind 90°”, for example, the local coordinate system will be rotated by 90°.
Alternatively, you can resize 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 size of the model.
Note
Be careful when manipulating models that have been imported from RFEM or RSTAB. The modified sizes will not be exported back to the Dlubal application!
