Beam ID Connection Beam name is created by placing BK index in front of the number entered here (such as BK1, BK15). The program increments these names in the order in which the beams are drawn. The connection beam names can also be changed after the connection beams are drawn. The changed beam names do not have to be K. Any name can be used. |
Width The connection beam width is entered. Beam width refers to the width of the beam in plan. The beam width is smaller than the beam height in drooping beams and larger in inclined beams. |
Height The beam height is entered. The beam height determines the height of the beam starting from the floor ceiling, downwards. While entering the beam height, the floor height and lower wall heights should be taken into account. Because these heights are under user control. The program does not make any automatic adjustments. |
Elevation The vertical distance (elevation) of the upper face of the beam measured from the floor base. It can be either (+) or (-) value. Enter (+) for inverse beam and (-) for lower beam. |
Pattern It is the pattern type that applies to the beam. Clicking on pattern opens the pattern settings dialog. In this dialog, the desired pattern type is selected from the pattern types table by clicking the left mouse button on the pattern type. Pattern color and background color boxes are scrolled on the color palette that is opened by clicking with the left mouse button and holding down the button. The button is released when the desired color is reached. The color box turns into the selected color. If clicked together with the Shift key, the pen thickness of the relevant color can be adjusted. Clicking the OK button closes the dialog and returns to the beam settings dialog. The pattern type selected in the active scan box is displayed with the selected colors. |
Color The beam is the color of the border lines. The color palette is scrolled by clicking and holding down the left mouse button. The button is released when the desired color is reached. The color box turns into the selected color. If clicked together with the Shift key, the pen thickness of the relevant color can be adjusted. Pen thickness is not noticeable on the screen.

Structural material Select the static material to be used in the beam element from the list. Structural material can be defined as a concrete element under Materials in Building Tree. |
Override section parameters The section and geometric properties of the element are determined automatically and these are the values in accordance with the regulations. However, if you want to change the element section properties, mark this line and give the relevant values to the program. The program automatically calculates zero values and accepts non-zero entries as much as the entered value. 2 axis moment of inertia The element is the minor moment of inertia. I = b 3 h / 12 3 axis moment of inertia The element is the major moment of inertia. I = bh 3 /12 50/25 For example, in a column three axis rectangular moment of inertia 50.50.50.25 / 12 = 260416 cm 4 is calculated as. Torsional moment of inertia It is the moment of inertia that defines the torsional stiffness of the element. Cross-sectional area It is the cross-sectional area value of the element. For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, the cross section area of the element is 50.25 = 1250 cm 2 . Cutting area in 2 direction The element is the cutting area in the minor direction. Cutting area = 5/6. b. d For example, in a 50/25 rectangular column, 5 / 6.50.25 = 1041 cm2 Cutting area in 2 direction The element is the cutting area in the major direction. |

Click the OK button. The "Component Selection" dialog will be closed. A summary line of the material will appear in the Building Components tab. More than one material assignment can be made to an object.
The parameters available in the component selection dialog are:
In the usage section
No modification: The amount of material to be assigned for the object in question is marked when it is desired to be used in the size that was previously specified in the material definition.
Percentage: This line is marked when it is desired to be used with the percentage of the amount previously determined in the material definition, as much as the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog. For example, if the material quantity is 70, if the line “Value 1” says 40, it means the material amount will be used up to 40 * 70%.
Override: This line is marked so that the quantity entered in the “Value 1” line in the same dialog will be used instead of the quantity previously determined in the material definition.
Multiplier: This line is marked in order to use the value found at the end of the multiplication of the value entered in the "Value 1" line in the same dialog with the amount previously determined in the material definition.
Fraction: This line is marked so that the amount determined in the material definition before will be used as the fraction value created by the values entered in the "Value 1" and "Value 2" lines in the same dialog. "Value 1" is the denominator "Value 2" is the denominator.
Proportional to: It is determined to what scale-area, circumference, length etc.-, region-side area, top, edge etc.- the material will be proportioned to. The content of the proportional list box is automatically determined according to the object and the size of the material. For example, a different list will be created if an operation is made for the column, a different list will be created for the library, a different list for the volume, and a different list for the field.
The lines that appear in the Proportion list according to the beam object and material size are as follows.
