Location of slab’s reference plane.

    typedef enum {
        APISlabRefPlane_Top,
        APISlabRefPlane_CoreTop,
        APISlabRefPlane_CoreBottom,
        APISlabRefPlane_Bottom
    } API_SlabReferencePlaneLocationID;

 

Members

APISlabRefPlane_Top

Reference plane is the top plane of the slab.

APISlabRefPlane_CoreTop

Location of reference plane is the top of the core skin in case of composit slab.

APISlabRefPlane_CoreBottom

Location of reference plane is the top of the core skin in case of composit slab.

APISlabRefPlane_Bottom

Reference plane is the bottom plane of the slab.

 

Remarks

The API_SlabReferencePlaneLocationID enum is used in the API_SlabType structure.

The following picture illustrates the different values:

For a basic (homogenous) slab the possible values are APISlabRefPlane_Top or APISlabRefPlane_Bottom. For composite slabs all values are valid. It determines the reference position: so during input the level member in API_SlabType will refer to this position.

The new offsetFromTop [output only] member tells you the distance of the reference position (level) from the top of the slab.

 

Requirements

Version: API 17.0 or later
