A green dot in front of the add-on description means that a license is available. An orange or blue dot indicates that you can only use the add-on as a demo or trial version with a limited range of functions.
In the Standards I tab of the Base Data, you can select the Concrete Design and Geotechnical Analysis standards to be used for the concrete foundations (see also the chapter Standards I of the RFEM manual). The input dialog boxes of the concrete foundations are automatically adjusted to this standard.
The currently available design standards and a summary of the functional scope can be found at the Product Description of the foundation design.
Once you have activated the add-on and specified the standard, the user interface is extended by some new entries in the navigator, tables, and dialog boxes. This means that the parameters of concrete foundations are fully integrated into the RFEM user interface.
