Enter the placement information of the cable (girder and pylon). |
[Cable Distance at Girder]
Pylon : Represents the name of the pylon that will be used as a reference for the cable.
Zone : Represents left or right girder where the cable will be placed in based on the pylon center.
Offset from Pylon (m) : Enter the distance in the axis direction from the pylon center where the first cable will be installed.
Distance : Enter the number of cables and their intervals to attach to the girder.
[Cable Distance at Pylon]
Pylon : Represents the name of the pylon where the cable attaches.
Distance from Top : Enter the position from the top where the cable attaches to on the pylon.
Interval : Enter the number of cables and their intervals to attach to the pylon.
[Cable Arrangement at Pylon]
Spacing(CI) : Enter the length of the placement region of the cable that attaches to the pylon.
Spacing(CC) : Enter the offset distance of the highest attached cable from the pylon center in the direction perpendicular to axis.
Spacing(CS) : Enter the offset distance between the highest attached cable and the lowest attached cable in the direction perpendicular to axis.
Spacing(CD) : Enter the offset distance of the pylon center in the axis direction from the position where the cable will be fixed.
