Strand template

You can specify the arrangement of vertical strand planes in the spandrel, along with the vertical distances between grid points in each plane. Strands are defined by their row and column number within the grid, but the template allows for a mixture of regular and irregular grid points with respect to both the horizontal and vertical axes.

Use the X- and Y-Axis Grid Definition fields to define a list of distances between successive planes and grid points. For regularly spaced points, you may use a multiplier value, for example, 4*6”.

Strand pattern

You place strands in the spandrel by defining the grid points from the strand template for each end of the strand element. You also define size, and other reinforcement properties for the strands here.

A row of data on this tab can be thought of as a group. All the strands defined in one group share the same properties and start and stop rows. A group may also refer to a list of columns in the strand template, letting you use one group definition to create a set of strands.
