HRB - Element Joints

The 'Element Joints' function allows walls to be divided into multiple elements. This is particularly useful for very long walls that cannot be manufactured or transported in one piece. The elements can then be placed individually on the plan and transferred individually to a production bridge. When calculating the center of gravity of walls, a separate center of gravity is also calculated for each element. The components entered in the elements belong to the individual element and to the parent (element-based) wall.

Use the 'Add Element Joint' function to enter new element joints. To do this, select the wall you want to element and then enter a prefix for the element numbers. Each element is assigned a unique number that begins with the letter entered here (e.g., W1, W2, etc.). Then, enter the point at which the wall should be "split." You can do this as often as you like with a wall.

The 'Move Element Joint' function allows you to subsequently move an element joint. Select the joint to be moved and then enter the distance for the move.

The 'Delete element joint' function deletes an element joint by simply clicking on the red joint line.
