Supports

In this section, libraries of components can be created.

A library is a JSON file with a name, a unit and a list of supports.

Predefined support are :

1. Organisation

On the left panel, you can create folders, sub-folders and libraries.

The - button is used both for removing folders and libraries.

A folder can be a type of component or a specific provider.

You can also drag a file/folder on another folder.

A library can be managed as you want. One library for all type of support or one provider of a specific type.

For all type, the main property is the stiffness. All other properties are essentially informative.

Click the + button to add a new support :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Stiffness	kN.m/rad	kips.ft/rad
Max moment	kN.m	kips.ft	informative
Size	mm	in	informative
Mass	ton	kips	informative

Click the + button to add a new support :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Stiffness	kN/mm	kips/in
Max force	kN	kips	informative
Size	mm	in	informative
Mass	ton	kips	informative

Click the + button to add a new support :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Stiffness	kN/mm	kips/in
Max force	kN	kips	informative
Size	mm	in	informative
Mass	ton	kips	informative

Click the + button to add a new range of forces :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Min force	kN	kips	informative
Max force	kN	kips	informative

Click the + button (next to the description) to add a new support :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Stiffness	kN/mm	kips/in
Hanger size	mm	in	informative
Can size	mm	in	informative
Mass	ton	kips	informative

This support is fully informative inside the library ! There is no stiffness but a max displacement.

Click the + button to add a new range of forces :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Min force	kN	kips	informative
Max force	kN	kips	informative

Click the + button (next to the description) to add a new support :

Property	Unit Metric	Unit USA	Note
Max displacement	mm	in	informative
Hanger size	mm	in	informative
Can size	mm	in	informative
Mass	ton	kips	informative
