EXAMPLE 10. OPTIMIZATION OF REINFORCED CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION

EXAMPLE 10: 'OPTIMISATION' 15 By selecting the "Update" button, the list of cross-sections is automatically updated if changes have been made to the vector after the first display of this list. By pressing the "OK" button the selected cross-section or cross-sections are inserted in the "Groups" field. For this example we choose the 30X200 walls. The other way to select the cross-sections is by pressing the "Pick-Select" button and then selecting a physical cross-section of a pole with the mouse. Then this cross-section is also entered in the "Groups" field. ATTENTION! The option here applies only to physical cross-sections of poles, therefore the display of physical cross-sections must be activated in the 3D model. By selecting the corresponding group, the dimensions of the cross-section are displayed in the "Dimensions" field according to the graph. More specifically, the first column contains the initial dimensions, the second the minimum dimension limit, the third the maximum dimension limit, and the fourth the step of variation. The "Lock" column locks this dimension to remain unchanged and fixed at its original value. Pressing the "Lock" button checks all the
