Definition steps

  1. Start 1585056129329-748.png  Wall corbel command from 1585056136712-468.png  Shell component menu in 1585056142661-652.png tabmenu
  2. Set the direction of the Wall corbel, whether the corbel should be adjusted to the positive or negative side of the wall according to its local coordinate-system.

    • Identifier (General)
      The program automatically generates it, but User can define custom value. Identifier (ID and Position) number can be displayed in model view (Display settings).
    • Geometry (General)
      User can specify the followings:
      • the side of the wall
      • relative position of the Corbel compared to the wall (l, x)
      • length of the Corbel (l)
      • position of the load application, x, marked with red arrow in the figure below
      • the heights of the corbel at the wall and at the end of corbel
