A.
00:15
You can calculate the required reinforcement in a reinforced concrete structure
00:20
according to the applicable code
00:23
to calculate analysis of the reinforcement of slabs and walls.
00:28
You must first define the code parameters
00:31
for the panels
00:34
from the text menu. Select design

in the reinforcement type list.
00:45
Ensure the RC floor is selected.
00:48
Now
00:49
click within the panels field to activate it
00:52
and then
00:53
from the object inspector window,
00:56
right? Click floors
00:57
and click. Select all
01:00
the drawing area updates with all the floors highlighted as being selected.
01:06
Click again in the panels field

01:14
Before applying the reinforcement
01:16
from the list of reinforcement types. Select RC floor.
01:22
This opens the parameters, dialogue of the reinforcement type,
01:27
open each tab in this dialogue
01:30
to verify that the assignments are correct
01:33
