Syntax explanation
Several options of a design calculation can be controlled by command attributes and parameters. The analogous counterparts of these in the Consteel user interface are the following:
Additional command lines
Code lines directly after the DESIGN RUN command can set certain attributes of the design. The "Type" and "LoadCombinations" lines are always necessary, while the other ones are optional.
Available additional command lines:
| Line starting keyword | Inclusion | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Required | Controls which analysis results to use |
| LoadCombinations | Required | Controls the considered load combinations |
| CrossSectionCheck | Optional | Requests cross-section check |
| Portion_CrossSection | Optional | Sets portion used for cross-section check |
| UseGammaM1 | Optional | Requests the usage of γM1 instead of γM0 |
| BucklingCheck | Optional | Requests buckling check |
| Portion_Buckling | Optional | Sets portion used for buckling check |
| ElasticCriticalFactor | Optional | Controls the selection of the elastic critical factor |
| UltimateResistanceFactor | Optional | Controls the selection of the ultimate resistance factor |
| ReductionFactor | Optional | Controls the selection of the reduction factor |
| StableLength | Optional | Considers torsional restraints at the points of contraflexure |
| UseEN1993_1_3 | Optional | Controls the usage of supplementary rules from EN 1993-1-3 |
| CompositeColumnCheck | Optional | Requests composite column check |
| BeamReinforcementCheck | Optional | Requests concrete beam reinforcement design |
| ColumnReinforcementCheck | Optional | Requests concrete column reinforcement design |
Command parameters
| Command parameter | Assignment | Value format | Input options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analysis result input | Required | Predefined strings | Local, variable |
| Load Combination | Required | Load combination name or ID(s) | Local, variable |
| Cross section portion | Optional | Portion ID | Local, variable |
| Buckling portion | Optional | Portion ID | Local, variable |
| Elastic critical factor | Optional | Predefined strings | Local, variable |
| Ultimate resistance factor | Optional | Predefined strings | Local, variable |
| Reduction factor | Optional | Predefined strings | Local, variable |
| Use EN1993-1-3 | Optional | Boolean (1 or 0) | Local, variable |
Analysis result input:
The design calculation can be based on first order or second order analysis results. This parameter controls which will be used.
Available analysis result input types:- FirstOrder
- SecondOrder
Load combination:
Load combinations for which the design calculation is requested. The accepted input is either a single load combination ID or an array containing multiple load combination IDs. The name of the load combination is also an accepted input with this syntax: "NAME: [Load combination name]"
Cross section portion:
Sets the portion used for the cross section check.
Buckling portion:
Sets the portion used for the buckling check.
Elastic critical factor:
Controls how to select the elastic critical factor.
Available elastic critical factor options:- FirstEigenValue (default)
- SelectedEigenValue
- Automatic
Ultimate resistance factor:
Controls how to select the ultimate resistance factor.
Available ultimate resistance factor options:- ByMember (default)
- InPortion
Reduction factor:
Controls how to select the reduction factor.
Available reduction factor options:- Minimum (default)
- Interpolated
Use EN1993-1-3:
Controls if supplementary rules from EN 1993-1-3 should be used.
Available options:
- 0 (default)
- 1
