In order to determine the moments to be used in the concrete calculation, you can define a concrete calculation line on the raft foundation. The location of the concrete calculation line is important as it determines which moments will be used in the concrete calculation.
The program automatically creates concrete calculation lines for both directions when creating foundation, if the Create concrete calculation lines option is active in the foundation settings . If this option is not active, you must draw concrete calculation lines without performing slab analysis.
Location of Draw Concrete Calculation Line Command
You can find it in the ribbon menu under the Concrete tab, Foundation heading.
Usage Steps
Enter the raft foundation command and click the settings icon.
In the slab settings dialog, in the Structural tab, check the Draw concrete calculation lines option. Thus, the drawn concrete calculation lines will be traceable on the raft foundation.
After the raft foundation is created , click the Draw Concrete Calculation Line icon.
Create the first point of the line by clicking the left mouse button on the raft foundation on which you want to draw the concrete calculation line.
Click on your second point by dragging your mouse.
Concrete calculation line will be formed for the raft foundation.
Concrete line should be defined at least one from different directions for a raft foundation.
