SUPER-RC | Features

  • Management of RSTAB models according to construction progress
  • Definition of geometric boundary conditions for individual construction and operational conditions
  • Access to load cases, load combinations, and result combinations of all structures
  • Superposition of the different models in the form of an envelope of all extreme values
  • Combination options according to the following standards:

SUPER-RC | Input

A basic model is created and saved under different names depending on the construction progress. These structural models are then used for the supercombination. The superpositioning can be performed in the same way as for an RSTAB result combination.

By modeling various construction or operational conditions, different geometric boundary conditions can be represented: It is possible to add or remove supports, members, or elastic foundation of the model, for example.

SUPER-RC | Superposition

For superpositioning, it is necessary to select one of the integrated standards. The partial safety factors are preset by default. It is also possible to create a new standard and to save it with the user-defined safety factors.

The combination criterion defines which load cases, load combinations, or result combinations are to be considered by which model. The actions can be scaled by factors and classified as 'permanent' or 'potentially'. Alternative examinations in the form of a 'or' superposition are also possible. Graphic representations facilitate the allocation of the relevant models.

When determining extreme values, SUPER-RC imports the results of structures and superimposes them according to the combination criterion. The results are compared using the member and node numbers.

SUPER-RC | Results

The maximum and minimum extreme values (the envelope) are displayed in result tables and graphics. It is possible to add them to the global RSTAB printout report.

You can also design the internal forces of super combinations in many RSTAB add-on modules.
