Specification of cross-sections to be calculated (Input Table)

Data description/conditions:

Start Identifier (1) (3): (toggleable)

Identification name of first element where stress calculations have to be done

Required

End Identifier (2) (3): (toggleable)

Identification name of last element where stress calculations have to be done

Required / Undefined

TOPLOAD:

Indicator whether TOPLOAD has to be taken into account in stress calculations

Prescribed names:
- No: TOPLOAD will not be added to top soil load
- Yes: TOPLOAD will be added to top soil load

S-ALLOW:

Allowable stress level

> 0. / Undefined

(- If specified in case of GENERAL Material Linear stress calculations and exceeded in output table CSTRMAX, column Von Misses stresses, a function warning will be given.
- If specified in case of NEN 3650-2 or GENERAL Material Non Linear stress calculations, this stress level will be ignored.)

Note 1:

Toggle data in subsequent rows do not have to contain increasing values.

Note 2:

The parameters specified at the 'Start Identifier' (SELEM) are applicable up to the 'End Identifier' (EELEM). When 'End Identifier' is left empty it is assumed that EELEM = SELEM.

Note 3:

Elements outside any specified region will not be calculated.
