Question: I get a message saying that my material does not meet the requirements of the current standard. How can I correct it?
Answer:
Generally, you can create and use your own materials.
However, when entering data into the Material Library, you should ensure that they can also be used in the add-on modules. The specific weight has an impact on the design and on the formulas available there.
If you set the specific weight to 0 when creating a user-defined material, this material cannot be designed in the add-on module.
The specific weight of the material created should be adjusted in the Material Library; for example, for lightweight concrete only. If you do not want to consider the specific weight and thus the dead load as loads, you can set this to 0 in the "Edit Material" dialog box.
