General settings in Detail application

This article is also available in:
Necessary settings can be found in the project and material tabs. You can modify cross-sections, materials including creep coefficients, reinforcement stress-strain diagrams, and project identification here.

 Let's go through settings in the Project and Material tab.

Project Information

In the information, you can see the discontinuity regions. To add a new Project item, click the New button or Copy the previous one. Names and general settings of each project item can also be modified. 

Additionally, you have the ability to establish distinct general settings for each project item and promptly modify them as needed. See the figure below.

Cross-sections

It can be found in the Materials tab, to look up the cross-section and add, remove, or modify it.

Materials

As the name suggests, playing with the definition of materials is possible. This is the tab where the properties and creep coefficients are defined.

Furthermore, you have the option to modify the properties of the reinforcement and prestressing steel stress-strain diagrams. These alterations directly impact the calculation results. 

Settings

Explore the list of current general settings utilized for the specific project item. Here, you can easily review and make changes as needed.
