Design Checks

Select the result component for the result presentation of design checks for 3D-diagrams

Select the result name, for which you want to display the results, in the Result Data under Design Checks.

Depending on the selected result name (of a certain design check) and on the type of the property set, respective result components are available, which are listed in the following.

Use the right button in this task area to create a three-dimensional interaction diagram for the check in the ULS (select the respective file (*.stl) from the subfolder for the results of the checks in the ULS).

Results from the design in the ULS: Longitudinal reinforcement (bending + normal force, shear force, torsion, crack)

ASuser

Amount of reinforcement defined by the user

Note: Input the user-defined reinforcement area within the respective property set in the cross section definition.

ASd

Evaluated amount of reinforcement due to the design in the ULS

Note: The amount of the user-defined reinforcement is not included.

ASmax

Greater value from ASuser and ASd

Note: That means, that either the user-defined or the evaluated amount of reinforcement is decisive.

ASuser <= ASd -> ASmax = ASd

ASuser > ASd -> ASmax = ASuser

Results from the design in the ULS: Stirrup reinforcement (shear and torsion)

Asw, Aswd, Aswmax

Stirrup reinforcement; for details see (analogously) above
