Properties > RmSet

RmSets are arbitrary groups of commands and/or objects (nodes, elements, load cases, envelopes, result values, etc) for general reference in later different schedule actions (e.g. plot and print actions etc).

If the group of commands wants to be input, first the RmSet has to be chosen, resp. new defined. According the chosen RmSet in the upper list, the group of commands in the lower list will be shown. If there no command exists yet, the appropriate "Symbol" in the lower part of the table for editing has to be selected. Already existing command lines can be modified/copied/deleted.

SettingDescription
Table of RmSets The upper table of the input window shows the list of currently defined RmSets with the relevant basic parameters. These are the Group name, the name of the RmSet and the type of the RmSet.
Group Name of the property group to which the RmSet belongs. Grouping RmSets is intended for allowing better later reference. The group name is in general defined by the user.
RmSet Name of the RmSet for later reference.
Type

Type of the RmSet, defining the actions where it can be used. The following types are available:

  • RESULT: RmSet defining nodes, elements, load cases, result components etc. to be used in result presentation functions (DgmSet, DoReport, ...)
  • XFIBCHCK: Definition of required data for extended stress check listing
  • PIERDIM: Definition of required data for ultimate limit design of piers (actions UltLc, UltSup)
  • TENDDAT: Definition of required data for tendon plotting
  • TINT: Definition of required data for time history analysis (action TInt)
  • LIVE: Definition of required data for live load calculation
Table of Parameters

This table contains a list of the parameters defined in the currently selected RmSet. Each line of the contains a sub-set of defined parameters. The first column defines the type of the sub-set. The actual content  of the other 5 columns depends on the type of the subset and is here not described in detail.

The "modification" and "add before/after" buttons allows for direct modification respectively entry of the parameters in the list. However, unless being very experienced it is not recommended to use this direct modification possibility.

Note: Instead of using these basic buttons it is recommended to use the INFO button which provides a comprehensive modification and entry pad dependent on the type of the RmSet.
