Hello,
I would want to appy soil springs (bedding) on a slab inside Grasshopper using the Sofistik plug-in. But I can not find any way to do it instead of putting in in the material in SSD. Could you help me please ?
Hi there!
Sorry for the late response. The Structural Area component does not currently offer bedding properties as a direct input option. But you can very easily extend it with the User Text input by specifying the Structural Area’s CB and CT properties (see the SOFIMSHC manual, chapter 5.12 for more info) manually in the CADINP format using the GH panel and just plug it in for the relevant Structural Area components.
