Calculated internal forces

Service Concrete Advanced enables the user to display internal forces in members. Internal forces may be displays AS ARE, i.e. as calculated by the solver or they may be recalculated to take account of possible shift of the moment diagram and reduction allowed in the particular national standard (see appropriate parameters in Setup dialogue).

Parameters

Selection	This item defines the type of selection that the user wants to use to choose beams where the design results should be displayed.
Type of loads	Selects the type of load to be evaluated: load case, combination, class.
Load cases / Combinations / Classes	Selects the particular load case, combination or class to be evaluated.
Filter	The selection of beams to be evaluated may be filtered out.
Print explanation	If ON, a table explaining warnings and errors occurring during the design is attached to the document. This item has no response in the graphical window.
Type of check	Design ULS The internal forces as recalculated for the ULS design configuration are displayed. Non-prestressed ULS check The internal forces as recalculated for the ULS check configuration are displayed. Non-prestressed SLS check The internal forces as recalculated for the SLS check configuration are displayed.
Values	This item selects the value or values to be displayed. See below.
Extreme	Defines the places where numerical values will be added to the diagram of selected quantity.
Drawing setup	Enables the user to adjust the display style for the result diagrams. See below.

Values

My recalc	Recalculated (i.e. shifted and reduced) bending moment My.
Mz recalc	Recalculated (i.e. shifted and reduced) bending moment Mz.
Vz recalc	Recalculated shear force Vz.
N, Vy, Vz, Mx, My, Mz	Internal forces – as determined by the finite elements calculation.

Drawing setup

In addition to standard drawing setup parameters, the following parameters are added for the needs of design of concrete beams.

Values	If ON, labels are attached to the diagram. If OFF, only the diagram without any description is displayed.
Draw section in labels	If ON, the longitudinal position of the section is depicted.
Draw load case or combination in label	The design is always performed for the selected load case or combination. The number of considered load case / combination may be added to the diagram label.
Warnings, errors	If ON, the number of a potential warning or error is attached to the diagram of selected quantity. If no error occurs, nothing is printed.

Action buttons

Refresh	Refreshes the contents of the graphical window. Whenever the refresh of the screen is required, this item is red-highlighted.
Calculation info	Shows information about the calculation. See separate chapter.
Concrete setup	Enables the user to modify design parameters. See separate chapter.
Preview	Shows the selected design values in the Preview window.
