Positioning of equivalent reinforcement within the cross section:
Horizontal reinforcement positioning
In 2D-Frame and 2D-Grillage models, the horizontal (transverse) positioning of reinforcement is not accounted for during the calculation. This parameter is only relevant for 3D-Frame structures.
Vertical reinforcement positioning
Reinforcement definition for FNL analysis is subject to the requirements of Technical modules No. 126, 127 and 128. If these modules are not active or the definitions are restricted, the FNL calculation will be disabled.
Dimension units
Parameters | Units | Descriptions |
| Reinforcement / stirrup diameter | [mm] | |
| Reinforcement placement | [bars], [mm²], [w%] | The positioning of reinforcement depends on the measurement units selected in Options menu (e.g., absolute or relative) |
| Concrete cover | [mm] |
