reduction of value near supporte
1- when i checked moment(+) value at face of column for many columns i noted that this value reduced about 20 %.in many models... that is great.. but can i know your references ( code - book .... finite element method ...etc )
The method is not taken directly from any code (I don't think you can find such provisions in any of them) and works according to the description available in Help. It has been developed because for surface elements the values obtained over a point support increase when denser mesh is created and these values are then much larger than the real ones. Please mind that the use of this functionality is optional.
2- i have slabs 300 with 3 kn/m2 load when i modeled drop panels in middle of slab ..i have to apply load 3 kn/m2 for drop or not .
I'm not sure if I understand this question. Is it how to apply it as the answer if it should be applied is in your hands?

Artur,
It would be great if this worked also for the moments/shear maps results and not only for reinforcement.
Any chance?

Since when?rarely use the parameters tab , Never noticed!!!
Great!

Since the moment this option is available. The same for table results.

I meant ,since which RSA release?.
At the end of the Help page there is a note " If column dimensions are far greater than dimensions of FE mesh, it is recommended to define other dimensionless supports around the support with the dimension or to define rigid links."
What is considered "far greater"?
In my case columm dimensions(70x70cm) are 3X mesh size.
I modelled it with a rigid body panel(70x70cm) with shell finite element type.
Which is the best aproach?
thx

If my memory serves me well 16.0.

Make a test on a smaller model
I'd use size of elements of approx. half of the size or close to the size of a real support but not larger than the real size of this support.
