Surfaces

In the "Navigator - Results", specify the design results of the reinforcement section that should be displayed graphically on the surfaces. You can select specific results for the required reinforcement, provided reinforcement, and not covered reinforcement.

The cross-sectional area of the selected reinforcement type is displayed for each surface location.

Top and Bottom Layer

The top and bottom reinforcement applies according to the assignment that you have defined for each surface reinforcement type.

Info

If the local z-axis is oriented downwards in the Base Data , the top reinforcement is on the surface side in the direction of the negative z-axis (−z), and the bottom reinforcement is accordingly in the direction of the positive z-axis (+z). If the local z-axis is oriented upwards, this definition is reversed.

You can show and hide the surface axes using the Local Axis Systems of Surfaces on/off option in the surface shortcut menu. As an alternative, use the "Navigator Display" (Model → Base Objects → Surfaces → Surface Axis Systems x, y, z).

Reinforcement Direction

The reinforcement directions 1 and 2 are assigned to the surfaces in the Concrete Design Properties. You can adjust the display of the current reinforcement direction by using the Reinforcement Direction check box in the "Navigator - Results".

Control Panel

The color assignments of the reinforcement sections are shown in the control panel. If necessary, you can adjust the colors, hide color areas, and define objects for the result display(see Chapter Control Panel of the RFEM manual).

Values on Surfaces

The "Values on Surfaces" category at the end of the upper navigator area provides various options for displaying result values on the surfaces.

The functions are described in Chapter Result Values on Surfaces of the RFEM manual. You can also use it to evaluate the design results.

The Current Selection option displays the values of the reinforcement type specified in the Navigator above. The result values in the grid or FE mesh points, which can be set in the lower navigator area, thus correspond to the surface gradients (see the image above).

The Groups option allows you to display the reinforcement values by layer. The values are entered in the reinforcement direction. With this type of display, we recommend that you do not show any result diagrams.

The Specific option allows you to user-define the result types for the reinforcement values.

Tip

The Result Value Filter option allows you to define the value range criteria in order to influence the displayed reinforcement values.
