Invalid Punching Node

I would like to perform punching design of a reinforced concrete slab. I have selected a node and set it for the punching design. The node is classified as invalid. Why?


Answer:

The slab is supported directly by a hinged support, but its dimension is not specified. Therefore, the program cannot calculate the values required for the design.

The support dimensions can be defined in the support properties. As an alternative, the node can be supported by a fictitious column.
