CivilFEM Intro - Code Cheking
Code checking and design
Once the structure is checked, elements that are OK and NO OK are shown according to specifications as well as the safety factors/Margin of Safety.
Envelopes: allows the generation of results as envelope of others previously obtained, three types; maximum values, minimum values and absolute values.

Concrete Structures code checking:
- Predesign of concrete rectangular sections. It allows carrying out a predimensioning of the necessary reinforcement for rectangular cross sections.
- Checking: CivilFEM checks the structure with initial amount of reinforcement and shows the safety factor of each element.
- Design: CivilFEM checks the structure and optimize the reinforcement until obtaining a safety factor (1/criterion) as closer as possible to 1.00.
- The available results of a concrete checking or design are grouped in beam results (beam cross sections and solid section) and shell results (including results for shell element vertices).
