Calculation method
Calculation method
Guards per row (count)
Include guards at both ends of the usable run; round gaps upward to respect entered spacing.
Total guards (count)
Include guards at both ends of the usable run; round gaps upward to respect entered spacing.
Actual even spacing (m)
Include guards at both ends of the usable run; round gaps upward to respect entered spacing.
Symbols and units
- a
- Roof run along eave (m)
- b
- Maximum user-approved guard spacing (m)
- c
- Rows (count)
- d
- End setback at each side (m)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Quantity geometry using a previously approved layout; no snow-load, anchorage or roof-suitability design. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
