Structure > Elements > Checks > Copy

Taking over or copying of parameters governing  the preparation of design code checks from one element to a series of other elements.

SettingDescription
Elem Original element, whose data will be copied to the elements of the specified series.
El-from Start element in the series of elements whose data will be modified.
El-to End element in the series of elements whose data will be modified.
El-step Step in the element series of elements whose data will be modified.
b-beg Sum of duct widths to be subtracted from the total web width for considering the tendon duct    reduction effect in the shear check calculation (for begin of element)
b-end Sum of duct widths to be subtracted from the total web width for considering the tendon duct    reduction effect in the shear check calculation (for end of element)
Note: The definition of b-beg and b-end is only required when tendon groups are defined. An automatic reduction is applied in case of individual definition of all tendons. However, single tendons are not additionally considered if b-beg and b-end are  defined. 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 Definition of the tensile behavior of parts of composite elements
SettingDescription
Normal Partial element can carry tensile forces
No-tens. Partial element cannot carry tensile forces (redistribution of tensile forces of cracked concrete to other parts of the composite section).
Theta (Option) Control key for the inclination angle of the concrete compression strut in shear capacity check
SettingDescription
Not selected Angle is free (automatic definition to minimize shear reinforcement) (taking into account the allowable range according to the selected design code).
Selected Angle can be defined by the user (for element begin and/or element end). Definition is done by modifying respective reinforcement data of the attribute set (lower table).
Options for activating and de-activating design code checks These options allow controlling the performance of proof checks for individual elements. They are related to the respective check actions defined in the schedule.
  • Yes: Proof check is performed for the specified elements (default setting)
  • DetLst: A detailed list with intermediate results is written in addition to the standard output list in order to allow for controlling the check (shear capacity check).
  • No: No proof check is performed for the specified elements.
SettingDescription
Fiber stress check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: FibRpt, FibSup, FibIILc and  FibIISup.
Ultimate load check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: UltLc, UltSup
Shear capacity check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: ShearLc, ShearSup
Consider Resal effect If this option is set to Yes program will take into account influence of Resal effect.
Reinf. concrete design Definitions refer to the schedule actions: UltLc, UltSup (option Rein)
Cracking check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: CrackLc, CrackSup
Robustness Definitions refer to the schedule actions: RobuLc, RobuSup
Fatigue check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: FatigSup
Steel check Definitions refer to the schedule actions: UltRes, ResChkLc, ResChkSup
Non-linear material Only relevant if the option Non-linear material properties has been set  in the Recalc pad. Several elements can be here excluded from consideration of non-linear material properties.
FEM calculation Only relevant for elements with slave nodes in the cross-section defined for allowing a refined FEM calculation. The refined calculation can here be switched off or on for the respective elements.
PDelta effect Only relevant if the option P-Delta effects has been  set  in the Recalc pad. E elements can herewith be excluded from  consideration of pdelta effects in the calculation of the stiffness matrix.
