Control and modification possibility of all entries of the extended data set (time parameters, fabrication shape, reinforcement etc.) of an element

Setting

Description

El-No

Number of the current element

Setting	Description
Type	Element type (see Structure > Elements > Info )
Length	Element length (spring elements: user defined fictitious length)
Ndiv	Element subdivision for result presentation in intermediate points

Switches

Setting	Description
Age	Concrete age when the element is activated (days)
ts	Concrete age when the shrinkage process starts
RH	Average relative air humidity of the environment of the element (in %)
TMP	Average ambient air temperature on site
RPR	Stiffness ratio (As/Ac * Es/Ec) As: Reinforcement area Ac : Concrete area Es: E-modulus of reinforcement Ec: E-modulus of concrete
Alpha; Beta	Rayleigh-damping constants: [c] = alfa[m] + beta[k] [c]: Damping matrix [c]: Mass matrix [c]: 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 Recalc > Dynamics is taken if no element value is defined.

Fabrication shape

Setting	Description
Vx-beg(end)	Displacement of the element begin or end in x direction
Vy-beg(end)	Displacement of the element begin or end in y direction
Vz-beg(end	Displacement of the element begin or end in z direction
Rx-beg(end)	Rotation of the element begin or end around the x direction (in [rad])
Ry-beg(end)	Rotation of the element begin or end around the y direction (in [rad])
Rz-beg(end)	Rotation of the element begin or end around the z direction (in [rad])

Reinforcement

Setting	Description
Reinforcement group	Selection of the group for displaying the values
Start	Code for the reinforcement amount at element begin Fix: Reinforcement amount user defined (fix) Var: Reinforcement amount is a calculation result (reinforcement design)
End	Code for the reinforcement amount at element end
A1	User- defined reinforcement amount.

Control of proof checks

Setting	Description
Fibre	Switch, whether any fiber stress check is done for this element or not
Ult	Switch, whether any ultimate capacity check is done for this element or not
Shear	Switch, whether any shear capacity check is done for this element or not
RCD	Switch, whether any reinforcement design is done for this element or not
Crack	Switch, whether any crack width check is done for this element or not
Robust	Switch, whether any robustness check is done for this element or not
Fatig	Switch, whether any fatigue check is done for this element or not
NLMat	Switch, whether any non-linear material properties are considered for this element or not (when Non-linear material has been selected in the Recalc pad)
FEM	Switch, whether any specified FEM definitions are considered for this element or not.
b-beg	Total web-width reduction for the shear capacity check at element begin (reduction due to ducts of prestressing tendons in the web). Only required if tendons are grouped together, automatic reduction is performed if all tendons are individually defined.
b-end	Total web-width reduction for the shear capacity check at element end. In case of multiple webs, aliquot parts of b-beg and b-end will be subtracted from the total widths of the individual webs.
Class	Defining tensile behavior of parts of composite elements Normal: Partial element can carry tensile forces No-tension: Partial element cannot carry tensile forces
