10A. DIMENSIONING PART 1/4

The mask is opened in the same way for all scenarios except that, for the Greek regulations scenario only one combination of failure is predefined, and for the other scenarios one more combination of functionality has been added. OBSERVATION: For the Greek regulation (EKOS) the combination of Functionality is not meaningful because the deformation control is based on the dimensions and the type of support of the plates, a process that is done in the pre-estimation of the minimum thickness and has nothing to do with the dimensioning. To create a new combination, we press the "Add" button. The number becomes 3 and the load factors become 0. Now we can set the coefficients and whether the combination will be Failure or Functionality. In the same way we can define as many new combinations as we want or modify those already created. The Program will dimension with the worst moment with respect to the failure combinations and with the corresponding sizes will do the deformation checks from the functionality combinations. We can also use the "Delete" button to delete the combination or combinations we have created. Only the 1 & 2 predefined combinations are not deleted.
