Defines non-effective parts in a cross section.

Using the command ‘non-effective parts’, parts of a polygon can be defined as non-effective for one or more actions (normal forces, primary bending, secondary bending). Parts of the cross section which are to be excluded are selected using a line with thickness.

A detailed description of these properties can be found in the chapter ‘NEFF - Non Effective Parts’ of the manual AQUA.

Available options:

For the creation of non-effective parts, the following options are available:

Pick Points

Creates an element with the input of a minimum of 3 polygonal points.

Pick Lines or Curves

Creates an element by enclosing an area with the selected objects. Valid selection choices include closed polylines and lines.

Single Element Mode - Polygonal Input

Switches between the polygonal input type and entry of a single element. Single element mode always asks for the start and end point of a new element.

Information regarding the assignment of construction stages refer to the chapter Construction Stages of Cross Section Parts.
