The βShellViewβ-component lets one display the thickness of the reinforcement layers and the stresses there (see fig. 3.5.11.1). The input-plug βLayerIndβ sets the index of the layer to be displayed. The concrete cross section has index zero, index one corresponds to the top-, index four to the bottom-most reinforcement layer. The Z-direction of the local coordinate system points to the top of the cross section. The entry βLocal layer axesβ under βDisplay Scalesβ in the component βModelViewβ lets one enable, disable and scale the arrows of the local coordinate system.
