Answer:
If you want to specify your own design results for a structural component of one design situation type for different configurations, the "Construction Stages Analysis (CSA)" add-on provides a solution.
Among other things, this add-on allows you to perform a parallel simulation of a model with a constant number of objects. In this special case, the base model is internally juxtaposed several times, and can thus be transferred to the design with differently set design configurations.
For the conversion, you can proceed as follows:
- Activate the "Construction Stages Analysis (CSA)" add-on in the Base Data.
- Define a first stage with the "Start" attribute under the "Construction Stages" branch in the Navigator, and activate all elements. These elements will be taken into account with the design configurations defined in the object.
- Define another stage with the "Start" attribute under the "Construction Stages" branch in the Navigator.
- In the "Members" tab, enter the member number(s) under "Modify Properties for Members" and select the desired configuration as the property to be modified.
- After the calculation, evaluate the design depending on the defined stages.
