Fatigue Design of Reinforced Concrete

How can I perform the fatigue design of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete in RFEM 5? I have found a result combination for fatigue, but cannot find the design in the add-on modules.

Answer:
The design is currently not implemented in the RF‑CONCRETE add-on modules. In RF‑CONCRETE Members or Surfaces, you can determine the input parameters for the design, such as reinforcing steel stress. The design itself currently has to be performed outside the program.

For prestressed concrete design, the program in the RF‑TENDON Design add-on module implements the fatigue design according to EN 1992‑1‑1, 6.8.5. For this purpose, use the result combination of the "Fatigue" type.
