Checking to interaction diagram

The checking of a concrete member can be carried out (among other methods) using the interaction diagram method. Interaction N + My + Mz, Vz.

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 warning and error occurring the design is attached to the document. This item has no response in the graphical window.
Values	This item selects the value or values to be displayed. See below.
Type of value	Extreme value {default} – the selected value is presented in the graphical window and the extreme value in the numerical output is based on the maximum check value of the selected value Extreme check value - the check of selected value is presented in the graphical window and the extreme value in the numerical output is based on the maximum check value of the selected value
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.
Section	All The checks are performed and displayed in all sections along the member. The number of sections is defined in Solver setup. Input The checks are performed and displayed ONLY in sections defined by the user. The sections can be defined in service Structure. Ends The checks are performed and displayed ONLY in end points of the member. Input + Ends The checks are performed and displayed in sections defined by the user and in the end points of the member. The sections can be defined in service Structure.

Values

Check	the assessment by means of relative value.
Nu	ultimate axial force
Vzu	ultimate shear force
Myu	ultimate bending moment My
Mzu	ultimate bending moment Mz

Note: The values may differ according to the applied code.

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 Calculation info for design.
Concrete setup	Enables the user to modify design parameters. See Concrete setup for design of beams.
Single check	Performs a detailed check of a selected beam. See separate chapter.
Preview	Shows the selected design values in the Preview window.
