Data in the table
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Elem |
Element number - increasing order |
| Type |
Element type
- Beam: Beam element
- Cable: Beam element
- Spring: Linear spring element (static spring)
- SFrict: Friction spring
- SCont: Nonlinear spring
- SCompr: Compression only spring
- STens: Tension only spring

|
| Status |
Activation status of the element
- Inact: Element is not active (has not yet been activated or has been deactivated)
- Act: Element is active
|

|
Parameters for the Creep and Shrinkage Calculation
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Age |
Concrete age when the element is activated |
| ts |
Concrete age when the shrinkage process starts |
| RH |
Average relative air humidity of the environment of the element (in %) |
| RPR |
Stiffness ratio (As/Ac * Es/Ec)
- As: Reinforcement area
- Ac: Concrete area
- Es: E-modulus of reinforcement
- Ec: E-modulus of concrete
|
| TMP |
Average ambient air temperature on site |
|
|
Parameters for the dynamic time history analysis
|
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Alpha;Beta |
Rayleigh-damping constants: [c] = alfa*[m] + beta*[k]
- [c]: Damping matrix
- [m]: Mass matrix
- [k]: Stiffness matrix
|
| Damping |
Modal damping ratio for assessment of the different natural modes in case of modal analysis with frequency-dependent damping. The global value Xsi defined in is taken if no element value is defined. |
