GGU-SETTLE: "Stress section preferences" menu item

Preferences for stress section visualisation can be specified using this menu item. The following dialog box opens:

With "Stress colour" you define the colour with which it will be filled when the "Stress in colour" check box is activated. "Subtract excavation unloading" allows you to select calculations with or without excavation unloading. With "Max. plot value" you specify the presentation of the foundation stress in section. You can specify whether the soil stratification is to be shown. If the "Layers coloured" check box is activated, the soil layers will be colour-filled in accordance with the specified soil colours (see menu item "Evaluation/Preferences"). With "Foundation colour" you define the colour with which it will be filled when the "With foundations" check box is activated. Using the "Labelling" check box you can have the stress distribution labelled. With the "Depth increment" value you define the vertical spacing for stress calculations. Very small value mean especially long calculation times. Very large values can lead to an unround stress course.

If the specified section is required again later for further evaluations, you can save this section to a file and reload it again later using the above shown dialog box. After leaving the dialog box via the "Display" button the program displays the stress distribution.

A location sketch is automatically displayed on the screen showing the system outline and the defined section. This section course legend is activated by default, but can be deactivated in the "Graphics preferences/Section course legend" menu item.
