The General part is used to define the particular parameters of concrete columns.
General options:

Description |
|
Section name |
- |
Name of cross sections (parametric and standard) are supported by EN 1992-1-1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1992-1-1. Items listed in a Section name in an Sections Definition dialog window depend on chosen code or/and national annex |
|
Concrete |
- |
Concrete material name is using for code check calculation and supported by EN 1992-1-1#3.1 and related national annexes such as NEN-EN 1992-1-1#3.1. Items listed in a Concrete drop-down list depend on chosen code or/and national annex |
Forces:

Description |
|
Nt;Ed |
kN |
Acting axial force directed perpendicular to the cross section of the column |
|
My;Ed |
kNm |
Bending moment on the y-axis |
|
Mz;Ed |
kNm |
Bending moment on the z-axis (only for rectangular cross section) |
 |
