10 Computations
Click to perform all the computations, if checked the computations are performed at the same time the data are changed. This may sometimes (if slow computer) delay the changing of input data. It is advised to uncheck Auto computation when you form the model and when you make a lot of input data adjustments.
If the sections, plate thickness or bolt diameters , are not adequate, an error window appears with appropriate error messages for the verifications that are not verified. In addition if you preview the report you will see in red extended error messages at the place the calculations or verifications are performed.
In the design overview window it is displayed which designs are verified.
The program automatically increases plate thicknesses, bolt diameters or foundation width to achieve design verification.
11 Report
Click and the full design report with detailed analysis, drawings and references to Eurocodes is displayed.
Warning message, in red colour, appear s in the report for the design parts for which the verifications fail.
