Tasks

The Tasks define the particular work steps of a construction and phase respectively.

Some tasks are associated with a corresponding calculation task for the static analysis.

By activating the calculation option Autogenerate calculation tasks a group of calculation tasks is automatically performed (in the background) for certain tasks.

Optionally, certain calculation tasks can also be defined directly.

All generated calculation tasks can be viewed in the Logging window for checking and in the Output of the Construction, respectively.

Below you can find an overview of all available tasks with their corresponding calculation tasks and (optionally automatically generated) group of calculation task.

CANTILEVER	Balanced cantilever construction - task group	Creates a series of calculation tasks that reflect the processes of the balanced cantilever construction - for details see CANTILEVER
CONTAINER	Task group
CUSTOM	User-defined task
LABEL	Set a marking

Remark: The calculation task INSTCONC is not available via the user interface, since it is called up by HARDEN and CONCRETE, respectively, or directly addressed by the task INSTCONC.

To generate a new task

Click the desired task or select it from the drop-down menu.
The task is added to the table in the View window with its name and its description and you can edit its parameters there or in the Property window.

In parallel the defined tasks are shown in the Gantt chart in the View window and you can also edit them there.
