Input architecture test bench v0.14.49

No engineering mathematics yet. This version focuses on clearer interaction, faithful dynamic configuration, and safer measurement entry.

1. Scope check

2. Dome installation configuration

If No, continue with the normal single-dome setup below. If Yes, we’ll first confirm that the multiple-bay arrangement can be represented by this calculator.
Configuration scope. This calculator is designed around common and representative container-dome configurations. If a complete installation cannot be represented exactly, divide it into logical sections or bay groups that can be represented by the available configurations and assess those sections separately — like pieces of a jigsaw. Features that occur only in particular sections, such as transverse end containers or different enclosure conditions, should be assessed with the configuration that best represents that section.

Let’s build your container architecture

Container layout — representative dome bay

Build Row A and Row B, then check the live architecture as you go. The default order puts 20 ft containers first, but use the ↑ / ↓ controls in the live graphic to match the actual FRONT → REAR order on site.

Row B

Yes means the container sizes, sequence and longitudinal positions match Row A.

2.9How are the two rows aligned?

This shifts the rows longitudinally in the live architecture. The calculator then determines whether the Front ends, Rear ends, both ends, or neither end physically line up.

3. Front / rear end containers

Tell us independently whether an end container exists at the Front and/or Rear, then choose its size and actual plan-view position. These choices become part of the container architecture shown in the live graphic above. If the row geometry does not line up at an end, that end is automatically unavailable.

Front end

Rear end

4. Dome geometry & coverage

The dome springs from the inner top edges of Row A and Row B, spanning the clear gap between the rows.
Clear span: the horizontal distance between the two parallel container rows at the selected reference points. Dome apex/rise: the vertical height of the dome at its highest point above the top/support level of the containers, not above ground level.
This row-spacing reference describes the container architecture. The dome bearing choice above independently determines whether the dome attaches to the inner or outer top edges.

Dome length

The three fields are linked. Select a common length or type either metric/imperial value. A non-standard entry automatically changes the preset to “Custom / other”.

4.5Dome position

Use the dome-position slider in the live architecture panel. The orange dome footprint above updates immediately along the shared FRONT → REAR datum.

5. Dome ends & openings

End enclosure %: for “Partial from top”, the slider represents enclosure from the dome apex downward. If a transverse end container is present and the dome end is less than 8 ft / 2.44 m inward from that end, enclosure can extend only to the container roofline and Fully enclosed is not offered. At 8 ft / 2.44 m or more inward, a framed full end wall can be selected. Door/opening questions are shown only where the enclosure forms a full-height wall to ground — Fully enclosed or Partial from top at 100%.

Only joints that physically exist are shown. Hover, focus or tap a joint question to highlight its exact location on the live architecture.
