Diaphragm Construction
Stage:
Apply Internal Diaphragm Weight:
Internal Diaphragms:
External Diaphragms:Choose the stage at which you intend to construct the diaphragms.
Internal Diaphragms: Choose the internal diaphragms that you intend to construct.
Internal Diaphragm Construction Method [Weight only/Stiffness only/Weight and Stiffness]:
Weight only: With the weight-only construction method, the self-weight of the diaphragm will be applied to the closest constructed nodes.
Stiffness only: With the stiffness-only construction method, the stiffness of the diaphragm will be activated by constructing the analytical elements without applying its self-weight.
Weight and Stiffness: With the weight and stiffness construction method, both the stiffness of the diaphragm and its self-weight will be activated by constructing the analytical elements.
External Diaphragms: Choose the external diaphragms that you intend to construct.
External Diaphragms Construction Method [Weight only/Stiffness only/Weight and Stiffness]:
Weight only: With the weight-only construction method, the self-weight of the diaphragm will be applied to the closest constructed nodes.
Stiffness only: With the stiffness-only construction method, the stiffness of the diaphragm will be activated by constructing the analytical elements without applying its self-weight.
Weight and Stiffness: With the weight and stiffness construction method, both the stiffness of the diaphragm and its self-weight will be activated by constructing the analytical elements.
Continuity Diaphragms: Choose the continuity diaphragms that you intend to construct.
Continuity Diaphragms Construction Method [Weight only/Stiffness only/Weight and Stiffness]:
Weight only: With the weight-only construction method, the self-weight of the diaphragm will be applied to the closest constructed nodes.
Stiffness only: With the stiffness-only construction method, the stiffness of the diaphragm will be activated by constructing the analytical elements without applying its self-weight.
Weight and Stiffness: With the weight and stiffness construction method, both the stiffness of the diaphragm and its self-weight will be activated by constructing the analytical elements.
End Diaphragms: Choose the end diaphragms that you intend to construct.
