Infills

New infills may be added with two clicks on the Building Modeller Main Window.

On the infill's Properties Window users can adapt the infill's height to be different from the general storey height, and the infill's width in the View/Modify Geometry window.

On the Properties Window that appears, users can adapt the main parameters that affect the strength and stiffness of the new infill.

• The brick dimensions, length and height
• The mortar thickness
• The brick and mortar compressive strengths
• The percentage of the openings on the wall and
• The wall specific weight.

After defining all the section's properties, the new member may be inserted graphically with two mouse clicks on the building's plan view that outline the start and the end of the infill. The inserting line can lie at the centre or at either of the two sides of the infill; this can be determined by clicking on any of the three lines on the View/Modify Geometry window (the black line is the selected option).
