Categories
The data is organized by main categories and sub-categories, which is reflected both in the navigator and tables (see the 'Line Supports' Table image).
The main categories represent the basic objects, such as materials, nodes, lines, and surfaces.
The sub-categories manage specific features of an object, such as the "types" of hinges that can be allocated to a line or member.
To activate the sub-categories of an object in the dialog box, select the corresponding check boxes. You can then define and allocate specific properties in extra tabs.
New objects
To add objects in a dialog box (for example materials or load cases), use the New object and Copy object functions. You can access them via the or buttons.
