Design cases allow you to group surfaces for the designs or analyze variants (e.g. modified materials or reinforcement specifications, nonlinear analysis).
Analyzing a surface in different design cases is no problem.
The design cases of RF-CONCRETE Surfaces can also be accessed in RFEM by using the load case list in the toolbar.
To create a new design case in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces, use the menu item
- File → New Case.
The following dialog box appears.
In this dialog box, you can enter an unassigned No. for the new design case. A Description makes the selection in the load case list easier.
After clicking [OK], the RF-CONCRETE Surfaces window 1.1 General Data opens where you can enter the design data.
To change the description of a design case in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces, select the menu option
- File → Rename Case.
The following dialog box appears.
In this dialog box, you can specify a different Description as well as a different No. for the design case.
To copy the input data of the current design case in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces, use the menu item
- File → Copy Case.
The following dialog box appears.
Define the No. and, if necessary, a Description for the new case.
To delete a design case in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces, use the menu option
- File → Delete Case.
The following dialog box appears.
You can select the design case in the Available Cases list. To delete the selected case, click [OK].
