CLADDING AND LOAD DISTRIBUTION

[BertelliMarco1095]

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.

Hi @kmmdD66ZQ 

Use (meshed) slab with very small thickness instead of cladding and neglect results for slab. With cladding it will not work (due to described procedure limitations)

Okay, thank you for the quick reply, I figured it properly would something like that I would need to do to make it work. 🙂 Can you sent a picture of the parameter of the meshed slab you used.
