Action > UltRes
Performs the calculation of the cross-section class and design resistance of steel and composite sections with consideration of local buckling of slender cross-section parts (slender parts). Characteristic buckling lengths are considered for actual design resistance in the structure.
Note: Material parameters cannot be defined locally in this function. Relevant yield strengths and safety factors must be defined in the database.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Action | Code of the selected Action. It is possible to switch to another action without leaving and re-entering the input function. |
| Action will be skipped (Option) | The action will be skipped in the calculation process if the option is selected. |
| Name of an Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet file where the calculated cross-section and element resistance are written. If the spreadsheet file contains a sheet CS with definitions of slender parts, these definitions are used instead of the slender parts defined via reference sets. If it contains a sheet Elements these definitions override any buckling length definitions in the database and the to-do definitions in . | |
| Name of the result where the calculated design resistance values are stored. I.e. this result contains the design resistance for tensile force under +NxRd, the design resistance for compression force under -NxRd, ..., till the design resistance for negative moment under -MzRd. It can be viewed and specified as plot, list or Excel file in the tab "Miscellaneous" in RM-Sets. | |
| Name of list file whereto results of the calculation are written. | |
| Delta-T | Duration of the Action (not applicable for this action) |
| Description | Descriptive text for the selected Action (max. 80 characters) |
Elements, for which a design resistance calculation shall be done, have to be selected in the function .
