Use this dialog to define additional parameters determining the limit displacement values.
Access
- Click Limit deflections and displacements in the Member Definitions - Parameters dialog, and then click Service.
Dialog elements
- Deflection limits (local system)
- Allows you to check displacements such as Dead loads, Live loads, or Total loads for timber members.
- For each of the displacements that you want to check, specify if the limiting values are relative or absolute, and then enter the member deflections in the Y and Z directions.
- Camber
- Contains the camber properties.
- User-defined camber
- Specify the ucy and ucz values for the camber.
- Automatic camber
- Uses the camber value calculated by the program. Note: The program uses the dead loads to calculate the automatic camber value.
- Node displacements (global system)
- Allows you to define the limits for the displacements of vertical members.
- The program checks the difference between the upper and lower displacements, and then compares it with the limit value.
- Specify the node displacements in the X and Y directions.
