Edit dialog

Used to change values for the currently selected item in the current stage of the construction schedule.

Opens when either:
  • Edit is selected from the pop-up menu in the construction schedule, or
  • <Enter> is pressed.
SettingDescription
Activate/Age Select an option for the input:
  • Value – Age of the element at first activation.
  • Activate – Activate elements without time values (e.g., springs). The input field is not editable.
  • Deactivate – Deactivate previously activated elements. The input field is not editable.
Attention: Deactivation of (spring) elements needs further considerations within RM using the DEMO load case (Actions on Element End) by the user, it is not done automatically by the program!
Stress label Name of the stress label of the corresponding tendons to be pre-stressed in this stage (used in the tenon module).
Traveler Select the options for the traveler placement:
  • On – traveler will be considered
  • Off – no movement of traveler
  • Remove – traveler is removed
Wet concrete Consideration of the wet concrete in the current stage.
  • On – wet concrete will be considered ("*") (wet concrete weight of the elements being activated in the next stage will applied onto the structure in the current stage). wet concrete will be considered ("*") (wet concrete weight of the elements being activated in the next stage will applied onto the structure in the current stage).
  • Off – no wet concrete will be considered
Time step Specifies the duration for creep and shrinkage (and time to the next stage). Note: Only the first input in the corresponding column in each stage will be considered, possible further ones will be ignored (as there can only be one value for creep and shrinkage for each stage).
Blister Input of the label for the consideration of a certain blister weight (defined in Blisters), which will be applied on the corresponding element in this stage. Blister weights are also considered in the wet concrete calculation, when wet concrete is calculated for an element, where blisters are defined. There will be generated load sets, which are assigned to the corresponding wet concrete and self-weight load cases of the considered element.
