Surfaces

In the Surfaces tab of the "Ultimate Configurations" dialog box, you can make basic settings for the ultimate limit state design of surfaces.

Editing Ultimate Configuration - Surfaces

Important

The specifications of an ultimate configuration apply to all surfaces with this configuration assigned. If a surface in the Objects to Design list is not assigned to an ultimate configuration, no design is carried out for it.

The "Design Parameters" are divided into several categories where you can make your adjustments.

Important

For the structural components subjected to compression, such as walls, the optimization of design internal forces may lead to non-designable situations due to the failure of the concrete compression strut. Therefore, the optimization for the "compression-compression" load situations is not recommended. Create a new configuration for walls, where "No optimization of design internal forces" is carried out.
