ProtaStructure enables users to edit rebar layout of corewalls and polyline columns both automatically and manually. In the previous versions of ProtaStructure, the rebar layout of the core walls with known shapes was parametrically done (sections like U, I, T, E, L). For unclassified complex shapes, only the bars at the link corners were put […]

Frame element local coordinate system is defined in two steps. First, it is formed according to default orientation rules and then rotated about local 1-axis according to the rotation angle (if it is specified). Default Orientation of Frame Element Local Coordinate System Local axis 1 of the element is along the element’s axial axis with the […]

Overview Points are the primary snap objects in ProtaSteel. They are used for creating the geometry. Although points are created automatically at grid intersection points and at the ends of each frame element, sometimes it is necessary to create additional points to model complicated geometries. For this, the program provides a number of point creation […]
