Slab properties
Slab properties
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I am an absolute new user to SAFE and I am encountering a very basic issue while defining slab properties.
In the slab property data window, I could see only two options - NO DESIGN and ORTHOTROPIC.
In all the tutorials I could find, it seems that I should click on THICK PLATE option in the slab properties data which is not visible to me.
Can someone help please.
Regards,
GH

Many thanks for your reply.
I am using V12 of SAFE and have attached a screen shot of the slab properties window.

Here is an extract from a forum: related.
I am modeling an existing slab with extensive cracking in one direction and I would like to input one slab thickness for the X direction and a different thickness in the Y direction — is this possible?
Sure – when defining the slab properties, check the Orthotropic checkbox on the Slab Property Data form. This will allow you to specify effective thicknesses in both the X and Y directions, as well as an effective thickness for twisting moments.
