Question

Why is it possible to switch off the individual design checks in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro? After all, this poses a risk for the user to "accidentally" disable certain design checks and possibly design a foundation that is undersized?


Answer:
We want to give the user as much freedom as possible to control the design checks in RF‑/FOUNDATION Pro. The relevant designs according to EN 1992‑1‑1 and EN 1997‑1 are activated by default when creating a new case.

These can be partially deactivated. For example, if the design check is not required due to the structural specifics of the foundation. Secondly, for testing or verification purposes.

However, it should be noted that it is necessary to activate at least one Geotechnical design according to EN 1997‑1.
