Details of Functions
Create Tab
Draw
| Info |
|---|
Creates a member by drawing the geometry of a steel beam member. |
Line(2 points) : Inputs Select two points to create a line.
Arc(2 points + Angle): Creates an arc using two points and a central angle.
Arc(2 points + Radius) : Creates an arc using two points and a radius.
Arc(Three points) : Creates an arc using three points.
Arc(Tangent) : Creates an arc in the direction of contact with a 1D object (Line, Arc).
Spline(Interpolation) : Input a number of points on the spline and create a curve using a separate polynomial for each section.
Spline(Control Point) : Creates a curve using a separate polynomial for each section by inputting the spline's starting point, control point, and end point.
Semi-Ellipse : Creates a semi-ellipse by inputting the center of the ellipse, the point along the major axis, and the point along the minor axis.
By Select : Creates a concrete beam member by selecting a Line on the plan drawing.
Option
| Info |
|---|
Select an option of whether a concrete beam is created as one object or several objects when several line objects are selected by ‘By Select’ function in ‘Draw'. |
By Select : Create a continuous poly beam to the selected all line objects.
By Edge : Create discrete concrete beams for the selected each line object.
Preview level
| Info |
|---|
Select the preview exposure level when the draw of the member is not complete. |
Member With Solid : This is the preview shape. It shows both the centerline of the member and its solid shape for the preview shape.
Member only : Shows It s hows only the centerline of the member as for the preview shape.

Tapered member 옵션
| Info |
|---|
Sets whether a cross-section member is created. |
Section
| Info |
|---|
Sets Set the type of section shape and inputs enter section dimensions. The types of sectional shapes provided are shown below. Solid rectangle, Solid round, Octagon, Solid octagon, Track, Solid track, Half track |
Local axis
| Info |
|---|
Sets the placement position and orientation of the section relative to the centerline(Geometry) of the member. |
Cardinal point : Set the position on the section corresponding to the centerline of the member.
The section is positioned so that the placement of the section you have set matches the location of the centerline of the member.
Beta angle : Input Enter the rotation angle of the section.
The right-hand rule is applied to the Local x-axis of the member (start → end).
Additional offset
| Info |
|---|
Additional distance from the cardinal point position to the local y, z direction is necessary to be inputtedentered. |
Offset-y : Input Enter the additional separation distance in the direction of the Local y.
Offset-z : Input Enter the additional separation distance in the direction of the Local z.
Shape variation
Displayed when Tapered member is checked ON
| Info |
|---|
Define the connection geometry between the start and end section. |
Curve order-y : Sets the curve order for the change of shape in the direction of the Local y-axis.
Curve order-z : Sets the curve order for the change of shape in the direction of the Local z-axis.

Element type
| Info |
|---|
This sets the 1D element type. Four types are available. Beam / Truss / Tension only / Compression only |
Boundary condition
| Info |
|---|
This sets the boundary condition at the beginning and the end of the geometry. |
