Since continuity diaphragms may need to be constructed partially, the related definition can be done using this library object.
Stage: Specify the stage at which the defined part of the continuity diaphragm will be constructed.
Diaphragm: Specify the related diaphragm.
Cut Station (From Right): Specify the distance from the right side when looking toward the station's right side.
Construction Direction [Left/Right]: Specify whether the diaphragm will be constructed starting from the right or left side up to the cut station.
End Diaphragms Construction Method [Weight Only / Stiffness Only / Weight and Stiffness]: This parameter can be used to specify whether the diaphragms will be constructed with only weight loads applied, only stiffness considered, or both taken into account for finite element analysis (FEA).
Self Weight Factor: The Self-Weight Factor is a parameter used to adjust the contribution of a diaphragm's own weight to the overall structural load calculations. This factor allows for the scaling or modification of the diaphragm's self-weight in finite element analysis (FEA).
