Deck Slabs VS Shell

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 22:32:59 GMT

Hi. I have a question regarding deck slabs and shell slabs. How do they work? What's the difference between them? Does the deck slab distribute the loads in only one direction? Is it good to see the hehaviour of pre-stressed slabs (pre-tensioned)? Thanks.

Hi @praiseniwa54

You are not able to change the span to y-axis.

Instead, you can rotate local x axis using Geometry > Properties > Local panel direction.. functionality.

The X direction is always the first two points you click when creating the deck.
