Provided Reinforcement of RC Elements

The RC design modules can be activated in the stand-alone mode:

• from the menu, by selecting Design > Provided Reinforcement of RC Elements.

The module for RC elements design can also work on RC elements within the defined structure model. The RC element dimensions, the loads and the calculation results are transferred to the design module. In order to activate the module in such mode, select an RC element or several RC elements or a whole model, and click Design > Provided Reinforcement of RC Elements.

The RC slab design module cannot be activated in the stand-alone mode. You can open it using either of the following 2 ways:
