Check
Concrete design Check helps you verify the utilization of your concrete members based on selected calculation data and review the results in a compact table layout. The Check tool opens a toolbar similar to Auto design, but without parameter options.
Tool palette
When you activate Check, a tool palette opens.
-
Calculation – lets you choose as the design basis:
- Load combinations
- Load groups
-
Display table – enable the checkbox to show the check result table in the dialog.
Utilization table structure
The Utilization table is split into two tables:
-
Groups table (top) – shows design groups and ungrouped single elements.
-
Element details table (bottom) – shows detailed utilization results for elements in the selected group, or for the selected ungrouped single element.
Groups table columns
The groups table uses the same columns as in the corresponding auto design. The table genrally includes the following columns:
-
Passed – unnamed status column that shows if design has been run and what the result is.
-
Group name – group name, or the element name when the row is an ungrouped single element.
Element details table columns
The element details table contains the information about each design check that was run for the selected group or single element. The columns are specific to the design type, but generally include:
-
Passed – unnamed status column with pass/fail icon result.
-
Element name – name of the element.
-
Max. – maximum utilization value for the element.
Table options and buttons
Below the element details table, the following controls are available:
-
Show only visible objects in the table – limits table rows to currently visible objects.
-
Check – runs design check for the selected element in the table.
-
Delete – deletes the added quantity from the selected element.
