StruthonConcreteMonoSection at the moment working as alpha 0.1 version - for testing.

The main window view.

There are three sections in the window - (1)Section properties, (2) Section loads, (3) To solve (results).

As you see at the moment only Msd and Nsd are available for load cases.

Let's calculate needed reinforcement for specified section loads.

1 - Set section properties - dimension, materials etc. Press [Apply to section] button - section properties text should change.

2 - Specify section load cases. The loads (as Msd, Nsd) can be with sign "+" or "-". Use buttons to add, edit, or delete cases. If the parameter "active[]" is True then the case will be calculated - use button [Selected ON], [Selected OFF], [All ON], [All OFF] to manage the "active[]" parameter.

3 - Press [Reinforce section] button to calculate needed reinforcement - calculated values (Ap and An) should be displayed in text window, and applied in Section properties window.

Theoretical reinforcement has been calculated.

Let's choose reinforcement bars diameter and quantity.

4 - Click [..] bottoms next to Ap and An section parameters to brow final reinforcement. One of windows shown below will be displayed.

After the section area Ap and An was specified following section analysis can be made.

5 - Click [Moment resist] button to calculate the Mrdmax and Mrdmin value.

6 - Click [Force resist] button to calculate the Nrdmax and Nrdmin value.

7 - Click [Moment/force resist(2D)] button to create moment/force resist chart. The dots you can see are load cases you specified earlier. If any of "crackcontroln" or "crackcontrolp" section parameter is active - dotted line represents resist values with crack control analyse. Example of chart shown below.

8 - Click any of buttons "As area charts" family to get charts like below. You can change the range of Mmin-Mmax and Nmin-Nmax.

As you can see below there is some difference in charts when the "crackcontroln" or "crackcontrolp" section parameters are active.
