MIDAS GEN TUTORIAL UPDATEģ Click Produce the detail flexural design results of slab elements in a text format.Ĥ Click Produce the flexural design forces of slab elements in a tabular format.ĥ Click Update the rebar quantity for each slab element. The updated rebar data is used for strength verification.Ģ Check The ratio of the design moment to the moment resistance when the designed rebar spacing is applied.įor practical design, smooth moment distributions are preferred. By selecting the smoothing option, the program can consider the smooth moment in slab design. Design > Meshed Slab/Wall Design > Slab Flexural DesignĮlement: Design results are displayed using the internal forces calculated at each node of elements. Nodal: Design results are displayed using the average internal nodal forces of the contiguous elements sharing the common nodes.Įlement: Design results are produced for moments at each node of slab elements. (no smoothing) Width: Design result of slab elements at each node is produced using the average of the bending moments of the contiguous slab elements with the specified width. EN21 In one plate element, 4 internal forces exist. For the element E2, member forces exist at the node EN21, EN22, EN23 and EN24.

(Assume that rebar direction is selected as Angle 2 for Width smoothing direction.) Following equations show how the smoothing option works for the node EN21.
