Measure distance | - Measure the distance specified by two points in the workspace. Available also with the help of shortcut Ctrl+M. Only in the program "Fin 2D".
|
Selections | - The option "Special selections" is dedicated for an easy selection of elements according to the defined rules (members with identical cross-sections, joints with specified load etc.). The item "Saved selections" opens the window with the list of user defined selections.
|
Load cases and combinations | - The template (list) of load cases and combinations can be loaded or exported in this part. This tool may be used for an easy transfer of load case/combination parameters from one project to another. The file of the template has an extension *.flc.
|
Load | - This tool increases or reduces the load in load cases with the help of specified multiplication factor. The factor may be applied to all or selected loads, the tool may be limited to active or selected load cases. This tool is suitable e.g. for modification of input after the change of loading width of structural elements.
|
Weight and painting surface | - Calculates the total weight of the structure and the total surface area of all members
|
Continuity analysis | - Test that checks whether the structure is divided into more parts or not. Hidden division into more parts caused by overlapping joints or members causes collapses during analysis very often. The partial segments of the structure aren't usually supported in a sufficient way and the singularity appears in these cases. There is an option to highlight the certain part of the structure.
|
Abs. joints on members | - Test that checks the coordinates of all absolute joints and compare them with positions of members. Absolute joints lying on members aren't connected to the members and may cause the singularity of the structure. Such joints may be converted into relative ones. This conversion automatically creates a connection between member and joint.
|
Error list | - Shows the list of errors that appear during the analysis
