Click the Additional parameters button in the Member Type Definition (beam) dialog to display the following dialog:
The Additional parameters dialog provides the following data:
- Rigidity of an RC element adopted in calculations of deflection (minimal or average value)
- Participation of long-term loads for the serviceability limit state. For each combination, values of M and N forces are multiplied by the coefficient value defined in the edit field. The adoption of the Nd/N coefficient in this manner is not realistic. If such a simplification is applied, it enables performing calculations without splitting successive combinations into simple cases and composing them again (which speeds up calculations).
