Subregion of a slab

Parameters

Name	Defines the name of the subregion of the slab.
Material	Defines the material of the subregion of the slab.
Thickness	Defines the thickness of the subregion.
Member system-plane at	The input-plane (system-plane) of the input slab may be in the mid-surface of the slab, at the top surface or bottom surface of the slab.
Eccentricity z	If required, eccentricity of the subregion of the slab may be input.
2D member	(informative) Informs about the "owner-slab" of the subregion.

Features and behaviour

Multiple subregions

It is possible to have more subregions through one slab, not overlaying each other, however NOT possible to have the whole surface of a single slab covered by subregions. In such case, this warning window is shown after the initiation of the analysis, naming the problematic slabs (in example SLAB2 and SLAB3):

The model in this case should be altered in the way, that at least some part of the mentioned slabs is left with no subregion.
