Comparing Designs - The Design Matrix

Results Chart

After optimization, Cimbra displays results as Design Matrix where:

• Each row represents a selected mold
• Each column represents a span/load condition
• Each cell represents a design generated by Cimbra
• Cells are color coded. Green represents best feasible designs, yellow and red are lower performing, but still feasible designs. Infeasible designs will not be shown

Using the Design Matrix

• Click a cell to load its full structural verification, which will be displayed below the Design Matrix.

The Design Matrix helps you make an informed selections when multiple designs are viable — for example, comparing a lighter design against a cheaper one that uses a mold you already own.
