Q3-380 |
GUI: For
beams placed close to each other, Graphics may generate beams not
created by original GEOM. |
'Close'
beams created with SI or METRIC input may be created in graphics and
not within original GEOM. Close members are defined to be within 8
inches (0.667 ft). By mistakes, the close-distance variable 0.667
was multiplied twice by 0.3048 (instead of once) to convert the
value to metric. Error corrected. |

|
04/30/2007 |
3.0.186 |
Q3-370 |
GUI:
Graphics is not following same rules for defining end of MISC
members. |
Fixed
error. Ends of y-misc beams were not flipped correctly to match
original GEOM. Here are the rules: If the MISC member has an
x-component (value > 0.01), ends are switched if the member is
defined in the negative x-direction. (2) Otherwise, if the member
has a y-component (value > 0.01), ends are switched if the member is
defined in the negative y-direction; (3) Otherwise for vertical
members ends are switched if member is defined downward. |

Lux = L/2-1, Luy = L-2 (min 1 ft) for longer members; - Set Lux =
Luy = L-1 (min 1 ft) for shorter member. - If an "RBEM" is issued
for a k-brace member, swap the values of Lux and Luy (the swap will
take place if the rotation angle is between 45 and 135 only --
Earlier version of GEOM did the swap without checking the rotation
angle). |

Q3-217 |
GUI:
Modify categorization of MISC members to match original GEOM
version. |
The
following rules have been implemented in graphics to match GEOM
implemented definitions: If vertical difference between the two ends
of MISC is less than 2 ft, it is horizontal member (X-BEAM, Y-BEAM
or Horizontal Brace); Otherwise: - If the two supporting ends are
beams on the same floor, it is horizontal (X-BEAM, Y-BEAM or
Horizontal Brace) - If one end is a beam and the other is a column
with a distance less than .001, and beam and column pieces on same
floor, it is horizontal (X-BEAM, Y-BEAM or Horizontal Brace) - If
both ends are supported by columns and distances are less than .001,
it is horizontal (X-BEAM, Y-BEAM or Horizontal Brace); - Otherwise
it is a vertical brace. IMPORTANT: X and Y BEAMS created by MISC
command can support other beams created by BEAM command and is
assigned properties (area commands) as if they are x or y beams).
However, these MISC members are not recognized by the load command
(i.e., no loads are assigned to them from the LOAD command and also,
the LOAD command can create beams that may coincide with these MISC
members. |
