6. Use Restraint Options Dialog:The RestraintOptions dialog has twopurposes: 1.TheApplyRestraints
options, allow the user to choose the most appropriate method for applying the restraintboundary
conditions. 2. The Default External Boundary option determines what boundary conditionswillbein
effect, bydefault, on the EXTERNALboundary.
7. Infinite Elements: In the Restraint Options dialog, you may choose to model the
EXTERNALboundary conditions by the use of Infinite Elements. Infinite Elements are an alternative
to the use offixedboundaryconditionson theEXTERNALboundary.

8. Applying Displacements: A fixed, non-zero displacement can be applied as a boundary
conditionusingtheAdd Displacement option.
9. Restraints Overview: The Restraints menu options allow the user to apply the following
boundaryconditions: Fixed XY (i.e. pinned), Fixed X (i.e. free to move in the Y direction only),
Fixed Y (i.e.free to move in the X direction only), and Free (i.e. free in both X and Y directions)
anywhere on themodel.

Importinglayout plan fromAutoCAD:
1. Toimport yourDWG,youwillneedtousethefullversionofAutoCAD(notLT).
2. Make sure all elements in the CAD drawing are exploded prior to import; if the program
findsBlocks it will return an error. It is also good practice to clean up the file of any
unnecessarylayers/elements irrelevant to structural plans.
3. Elementsinlayers"0"or "Deferentpoints"will notbeimported.
4. TheDWGcannot beopen inaCADprogram.
5. UseFile>Import>DXF/DWGFileofArchitecturalPlan
6. Choosecoordinates,storylevelinthemodeltobeimported,scale,locationandoptionstoelementsto be
neglected when creating centre lines as explained above. Maximum distance between parallellines
is very important specially when creating walls, this value should be set to approximately
themaximumwall thickness or beam width in theplan.
