Result classes may be used to view the effect of certain "combinations" of load cases and load case combinations. They are offered in all dialogues for results review together with load classes and load class combinations.
If no result class is defined manually by the user, the program generates three classes automatically:
- class containing all existing ULS combinations
- class containing all existing SLS combinations
- class containing all existing ULS and SLS combinations
Note: For EC-EN, combinations of the type EN-ULS (STR/GEO) Set C are NOT added into any of the three automatically generated classes. This specific combination type is added into a special Geotechnics class as explained further below.
These classes are generated when the Result tree is opened and any of the functions for display of results activated (e.g. Internal forces).
If some result classes are defined manually by the user before, no automatic classes are generated.
If the user creates a result class that contains ALL load case combinations of a certain type existing at the moment when the class is being created, the program assumes that it is the intention to have all the combinations of that type in the class in question. Therefore, if the user later creates a new combination of the same type, it is automatically added to the corresponding result class.
This rule applies to both manually and automatically created result classes.
This rule implies also the following behaviour of the program. Let us assume that the three automatic result classes were generated. Now, the user changes the type of one of the existing combinations (let us say) from SLS to ULS. The newly appearing ULS combination is automatically added to the result class with all the ULS combinations. However, the combination ALSO REMAINS in the result class with all the SLS combinations (this issue is handled at the moment and the behaviour of the program may change in one of the following versions in respect to this particular feature).
Also automatically generated is the result class GEO for geotechnics according to EC-EN. This result class is generated immediately after the calculation has been completed and requires that the Subsoil functionality be switched ON.
The GEO class contains all code combinations of the following types:
- EN-ULS (STR/GEO) Set B
- EN-ULS (STR/GEO) Set C
