Execute plate cuts in parallel planes

IDEA StatiCa supports the capability to execute plate cuts in parallel planes.

The Cut of plate operation offers the possibility to cut plates by other plates and negative volumes defined within the same plane. This is beneficial for handling general plate shapes imported from DXF files, addressing the plate cuts that could not be performed in the plate Editor.

To use this feature, select the PCUT (Cut of plate) operation and choose the Surface cutting method within the parameters of picked plates or negative volumes.
