Mass Print of Design Components

In this case, the Results Navigator controls the logical result components to be considered in the diagrams. For example, the European steel structure design according to EN 1993-1-1 carried out in the RF-/STEEL EC3 add-on module displays designs according to the following categories:

• Ultimate limit state
• Cross-section design
• Stability analysis
• Weld design
• Compression design
• Plastic design
• Serviceability
• Deformation
• Web breathing
• Fire resistance
• Cross-section design
• Stability analysis

This hierarchical display of results is also fully included in the mass print section for report purposes. In the case of a design module, the mass print identifies different design groups in the Results Navigator and provides the corresponding printout options. The options

• "Separate pictures" or
• "Envelope picture"

set the course for the information to be displayed in the design graphic. The "Separate pictures" option prints any activated design component as a separate image, and the "Envelope picture" option prints an enveloping result graphic of all design components activated within the option to the selected printout report.

To avoid mistakes, the program shows all considered result components at the top of each result picture. All components used in envelope graphics are mentioned in the graphics accordingly.
