Question

I used RCs for the calculation of my reinforced concrete surfaces. However, in the "Surfaces - Local Deformations" table, the "Corresponding Load Cases" are not displayed. Is there any way to find them?


Answer:
It is correct that no corresponding load cases are displayed in Table 4.13 "Surfaces - Local Deformations".

However, you can find them in Table 4.4 "Members - Local Deformations", for example. See Image 01.

If you want to see the corresponding load cases for the maximum deformations of an RC on a certain surface, it is possible to integrate a member into this surface. In order to prevent this member from influencing the surface stiffness, we recommend using a very small cross-section, for example.

If the member is correctly integrated into the surface or meshed, the table shown in Image 01 is obtained. Image 02 shows the corresponding deformation in the surface component.

Optionally, right-click the row in Table 4.4 that contains the desired result (for example, max uz). In the shortcut menu, the "Generate CO Acc. to Selected Row" option is available, which you can use to generate a CO that contains the corresponding load cases for the selected value. See Image 03.

When using this command, you obtain a CO from an RC with the corresponding load cases. See Image 04 with the results of the generated CO and the maximum deformations in the considered area.
