Thickness: The thickness of the diaphragm in the longitudinal direction can be defined using this parameter. The stiffness of the created finite elements is not affected by this input. During the construction of diaphragms, the user can choose whether to include the diaphragm weight as a load or to ignore the diaphragm load effects in the model.
SStart Start Skew: The start skew can be specified using this parameter and will alter the 3D volume of the object, but will not affect its longitudinal station.
