slab study

[EduRJ]

Hello,

I have a concrete slab and I would like to add an horizontal force, however in a slab project i can´t do it...

Can I modify the type of slab´s calculation? Or Robot doesn´t do that?

Thanks in advance.

No in structure type "plate design" you can't add horizontal forces-loads (as far as I know)

Try changing structre type (Geometry->structure type) to "shell design" and then you will be able to add horizontal in plane forces-loads

Yes, I did it however the shell calculation doesn´t give me consistent horizontal results in term of deformation and tension.

It would be helpful uploading the file and a description of what would you expect to have for results.
