All the details of a mathematical model (for example, the length of a beam, the position and properties of a focal point, the location and the value of a load, …) can be changed at any time.
Removal of a beam element
Select the field ‘Geometry‘. Then select the beam elements that you want to delete and use the DELETE key to remove the selected beams.
Changes to the beam
Select the field ‘Geometry‘.
Modifying line
By double-clicking a beam element, a dialog box appears in which the actual length of the beam is reported. You can change this value by simply editing this field. Upon confirmation, the beam element will be adjusted by moving one the ends, namely the end that is the farthest away from the point where you clicked the beam element.
Modifying point
Would you want to adapt a point, then you just double-click the corresponding point. In the dialog that appears, adjust the coordinates of this point and the adjacent beam elements will follow automatically.
An alternative way is to select the point with the mouse and to drag it to the desired position.
Removal of loads on a beam element
Select the field ‘Loads‘. Then select the load group (eg dead load or live load) within which you want to remove the loads. Now select the beam elements for which you want to remove loads and use the DELETE key to remove all loads on the selected beams in the active load group.
