Use Shear Lag Defs. for Stiffness reduct. | Cross-sectional areas denoted as shear lag areas are ignored in the section property calculation (bending moments of inertia). If the option is tagged, the structural analysis is performed with these reduced values. If not tagged, the reduced values are only used for stress calculation. Axial loads are always acting on the total section and self weight is also always related to the full cross section. For details see Shear lag definition . |
Join Primary Forces to Composite | Primary forces of partial elements of composite elements are automatically joined and assigned to the respective composite elements. Otherwise, primary forces of partial elements are only assigned to the partial elements. |
Include Primary TempVar effects | Primary stress of non-linear temperature distribution
load cases will be considered in the calculation of stress results. This option
requires the definition of stress points with the respective flag specifying
that primary stresses due to TempVar shall be defined in the created load set.
Attention: The option that primary stresses
in arbitrary user-defined stress points can be stored and later considered has
been implemented in July 2011. Previously, considering primary stresses was
only possible by creating fictitious primary forces defining the primary stress
of the top and bottom points. Stresses in other stress points were incorrect
and also the internal forces, which contained a fictitious primary part. This
obsolete procedure can still be used by selecting the respective Primary State
option in the action TempVar.

Ignore shear deformation | Shear deformations due to shear forces are neglected in the analysis. |
Store leading envelope results for finite elements |
|
Create result lists for area loading | This option generates an auxiliary lst file which contains the shell element loads when the load case with shell loads is analyzed. |

Creep and Shrinkage
Definition of parameters for governing the creep and shrinkage calculation . The accuracy of the calculation can be increased on the one hand by subdividing the creep interval into smaller step, and on the other hand by defining an appropriate ageing factor.
