Design Configurations

In the Design Configurations tab, you can assign the configurations for the ultimate and serviceability limit state design to a member, a member set, or to representatives.

Assignment

The first of the defined design configurations is preset as the "ultimate configuration" and "serviceability configuration". If you have already defined other configurations, you can select the corresponding entry from the list.

You can create a new configuration using the New button or the list entry. The Edit button allows you to edit the selected configuration. Use the Select Effective Lengths in Graphics button to graphically adopt the configuration from another member.

Info

If the "Ultimate Configuration" option is missing, you should check the Global Settings dialog box whether the serviceability limit state is selected as "Configuration to Calculate". Configurations can only be assigned to the activated limit states!

Overview of Design Configurations

This section specifies the factors, as well as the minimum and maximum values that apply to the ultimate and serviceability limit state design according to a standard (see also Chapter Standard Parameters).
