Internal Diaphragm [CUG]

Internal Diaphragm

Girder: Choose the girder on which the internal diaphragm is constructed.

Reference Location [Start/End/Middle]: Reference location on the girder from which the diaphragm is positioned. Offset from Reference Location is measured from this point.

Offset from Reference Location: Offset distance from the chosen Reference Location (Start/End/Middle). Positive values shift the diaphragm upstation when Reference Location is Start, downstation when End.

Start Skew: Skew angle of the downstation face of the diaphragm.

End Skew: Skew angle of the upstation face of the diaphragm.

Station on PGL (readonly): Computed station on the PGL at which the diaphragm is placed, based on Girder, Reference Location, and Offset. Informational only.

Thickness: The thickness of the diaphragm plate can be specified using this parameter.

Material: The material of the diaphragm can be specified using this parameter. A previously defined material from the Properties > Materials section can be assigned, or a material can be imported.

Quantities

Volume: The total volume of the internal diaphragm. (Read-only)

Weight: The total weight of the internal diaphragm, calculated based on the volume and material density. (Read-only)

IFC Settings

Type: Select the IFC type for the internal diaphragm. Common options include IfcBeam, IfcPlate, IfcMember, IfcElementAssembly, and others depending on the modeling requirements.

Predefined Type: Specify the IFC predefined type. Options include CROSS_BRACING, GIRDER, SLAB_FIELD, and other standard IFC predefined types.

Parent: Define the parent element in the IFC hierarchy. Typically set to SUPERSTRUCTURE for internal diaphragms.
