Different code

[e2009355]

Could we use different codes in robot structural analysis to design one building? For example : material use eurocode (c25/30 for concrete) and deign use aci.

Can be.
But check results.

What you mean ?

The software is meant to work in ONE code all the way. I don't really know why you would do something like that.

Anyway, you could use any kind of concrete with any regulation.

As the program, in the design stage, makes a LOOOOOOT of verification with different factors, you must be very careful to avoid any kind of VERY WRONG calculations...

In addition to the comments posted by e2009355 about the load and material factors mind that for the situation as described above in general Robot will "keep" the strength parameters but value of E will be calculated following the selected design code (ACI) provisions (formulas) based on concrete strength rather than taken directly from its parameters as defined in Job Preferences.
