To do this you will need to manually edit the iMesh file you are working on. But this is not difficult. Just to be sure, though, save your work before staring.
Press the
button to show the iMesh data. Scroll down until you find the *GEOMETRY keyword. The following lines contain the available geometries for the current structure. The syntax is very simple: geometry number,value. You may change the presently defined values or add new ones. The value will either be the thickness of the triangle element or the diameter of the reinforcing bar. The convention is to use numbers 1 to 10 for plate thickness and 11 and following for bar diameters. Just make sure not to delete the entries number 2 and 11 that are used as default values for triangular elements and rebars in the applet. But you do not need to use them.
You can find more detail on the *GEOMETRY option in the description of the iMesh input file.
