Restraints are defined with the Set Dome/Vault Restraints command. Before the dome calculation is made, it is necessary to determine the support properties of the dome edges. With the Set Dome/Vault Restraints command, you can fix the dome edges are fixed to rotation and/or translation, or you can solve it is solved together with the structure with the semi-rigid diaphragm acceptance solution.

Boundary conditions for separate solution If a solution is made with the assumption of a fully rigid diaphragm, the dome is solved separately from the structure. In this case, the support conditions of the dome edges are determined by two options: rotation and translation. Dome loads should also be applied to the structure. |
Translation restrained
If checked, the selected edge is restrained against translation. |
Rotation restrained
If checked, the selected edge is restrained against rotation. |
Boundary conditions for solution with building system If the solution is made with the assumption of semi-rigid diaphragm, the structure - the dome is solved together. In this case, the objects to which the edges of the domes are connected are determined by the options given in the dialog. |
Fixed The edge of the dome is considered a fixed support. |
Connection distance Give the amount of distance that will be required for the dome edge to be attached to the support. |
