Dear all,

I use the cladding feature froms its addition in robot and is very usefull.

Today I was designing a rectangular slab with in the cernter a circular hole. I added a rectangular cladding and then a circle: you see on the screen that the circle forms an hole on the cladding. after the calculation if I look the the load ridistribution, i see that the hole is not considered! if I check the reaction the give the same result!

is this a bug or my procedure is worng? PLease find attached the example file.

Hello,

You didn't add the RSA-file to your question so I hope I did understand your question correctly.

I think you must ad the whole in your cladding as well.

greeting,

It should work. If not please attach example.

now the file should be attached

The distribution algorithm is not capable of correct detection of openings that stretch up to the edges of a cladding itself. You should either create two claddings and no opening or reduce its size.

Hi

how did you get the load distribution pattern to display like that?

Wow, that was a fast reply!!

Thanks, knew it would be something simple.

hey,

I am having problems with load distribution on the inclined roof, I added a load on the cladding but it is not distributed on the pannels. I put the load distibution in the right direction as seen in the attachement. It is working for the cladding on the columns.
