Procedure to display the stiffness
  1. Open service Concrete Advanced.

  2. Select function Member check - Check of non-prestressed concrete > Stiffness presentation (single click on the function is sufficient to invoke the function).

  3. Select the required type of load.

  4. Select the required load case, combination or class.

  5. Select members to be checked.

  6. Select the required quantity and if required, make other adjustments in the property window.

  7. Click Action button [Refresh] to see the selected design values.

  8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 as many times as required.

There are two functions Stiffness presentation in service Concrete Advanced: one in 1D member branch and the other in 2D member branch. Depending on the type of the member you want to check, select the function in the appropriate branch.
