IP-TR-01. What do I do if the
beams are not numbered in the desired fashion?
Solution :
Reasons for this may be anyone of the following
:
A.
Number of Beam Nodes greater than fifteen :
When cross beams meet a main beam it may be divided
into number of members, each member will have two
nodes. Program can store a beam with maximum fifteen
nodes only. A beam having more than fifteen nodes
may not be generated by the program. Break this
beam into two parts with Cut Beam Vertical and Cut
Beam Horizontal commands.
B.
This may also happen if you have not used Cut Beam
Horizontal and Cut Beam Vertical marks. Build-Master
provides facilities like Cut Beam Horizontal or
Cut Beam Vertical in the graphical editor to number,
separate beams horizontally and vertically. You
can use these marks whenever required to achieve
correct beam numbering. For figure IP-TR-01

C.
Balcony Beam Numbers DO NOT appear properly :
For a long balcony when a common beam is supported
by multiple cantilever beams, program may generate
it as a single beam. Use Cut Beam Horizontal and
Cut Beam Vertical marks to break the beam as desired.

What do I do if some of the slabs are not numbered
?
Solution : Reasons for this may be anyone of the following
:
A.
Internal Angle between adjacent slab sides is greater
than 180 deg.: While generating the slab numbers
automatically from line sketch of plan, program
assumes, that internal angle between two sides of
any slab is not greater than 180. L-shaped slabs
are therefore not detected by the program. This
type of slabs shall be broken into two slabs with
a fictitious beam. The size of this fictitious beam
shall be very small, e.g. width equal to 50 mm and
depth equal to slab thickness. The slab spanning
shall be defined such that minimum (or zero) slab
load comes on the fictitious beam, as shown in the
figure attached. For figure IP-TR-02

B.
Number of slab sides greater than fifteen :
If number of slab sides is greater than fifteen
as shown in figure IP-TR-03,
then program can not store the data for that slab.
To avoid this, break the slab into two parts, by
adding a fictitious beam in between such that the
slabs sides are within limits.
C.
Small Gap Along Slab Pheriphery :
If there is a small gap along the periphery of the
slab, as shown in the figure, the slab number may
not be generated. When the grids are very close
and a small line gets deleted by mistake, a gap
is created along the slab periphery. This gap may
not be visible if a column is present near it. Using
SETTINGS menu, make the column size very small (0.01)
Almost equal to zero) so that the gap is visible.
When the plan is drawn through InputPlan or CAD
and the beam lines do not meet each other exactly,
such gap may be present in the plan. Use OSNAP menu,
End Point Of or Intersection Of in CAD or InputPlan
while drawing the beam lines. For figure IP-TR-04

What do I do if I want to draw a curved beam in
the plan ?
Solution : Build-Master accepts data for inclined straight
beams in the plan. When a curved beam is to be
entered then it should be broken into straight-line
segments. One beam can have maximum upto 15 nodes.

When I execute Random mesh Command in the Mesh
Data Dialog Box then 'Debug Assertion Failed'
message appears on screen.
Solution : This message will appear if the Active-X
components are not registered successfully during
the installation procedure. In order to register
the Active-X Components, execute the Register
Active-X Components option provided under the
'utilities' menu of the main program.'

Beam and Slab numbers are displayed as B11a, S5a
etc.
Solution : When MakeData command is given in Input Plan
, the program will ask, "Want to retain existing
Beam and Slab Data? Yes/No" If "No"
option is selected here then Beam and Slab Data
is regenerated from scratch. If "Yes"
option is selected, then the existing Data is
retained and newly added beams and slabs are numbered
with prefixes such as a,b,c etc. To number these
beams serially, select ReNumber Beams/Slabs option
from Modify RCC Menu of Edit Plan Data.
IP-TR-06.
A slab having many nodes is omitted automatically.
How can I retain such Slab?
Solution : When the no.
of nodes are more than 15 for a particular slab,
that Slab is omitted automatically. However if
you wish to retain that Slab, break it in 2 or
3 parts to reduce the no. of nodes. |
