GGU-SETTLE: Calculate user-defined settlements (Ex. 2)

With user-defined settlements we mean analysis of settlements at any point inside or outside of the foundations. The position of these points is not restricted to the foundation geometry. They can be user-specified in a variety of ways.

If you are completely uninterested in the settlements at the special foundation points, you can go directly to the "Evaluation" and "Special" menus to calculate and display user-defined settlements.

• "Evaluation/Settlement at points" menu item
  With the mouse, you can click on any point within the system. The calculated settlements will then be graphically displayed.

• “Evaluation/Settlements on a line" menu item
  With the mouse, you click on two points (start and end points of a line). The settlement along this line will then be calculated at constant intervals. If, after calculations are complete, you switch to the "Evaluation/Automatic multi-node section" menu item, you can display the settlement depression for the system section.

• "Evaluation/Settlements in quadrilateral array" menu item
  You click on the four points of a quadrilateral. The program then calculates the settlements in a regular array within this quadrilateral. This function is especially useful in connection with the "Evaluation/Settlement contours" menu item, as you have, with settlements calculated in a quadrilateral, a favourable data basis for triangulation and thus for the presentation of contours.
