RSA Not showing the Beams Parameters Dialog box when in the beam design module

[james.mahinda-edvik]

Hi,

I am trying to design RC beams in RSA 2024 version.

After selecting the beam for RC member design, RSA should pop up the dialog box for Beams-Parameters of RC elements so that I can define the supports, etc. (See snippet below)

However, this is not happening. Anyone who can provide a solution on this?

Hi @james.mahinda-edvik,

You can open it from the Analysis menu.

I hope it helps.

@JohanDuPlessis Where do you define the supports?

[JohanDuPlessis]

That is done in Span Geometry at the bottom of the screen.

@JohanDuPlessis May be I was not clear. In the dialog below, you are able to select which member is a support to the beam, especially in a case where two beams are crossing each other. How do I retrieve this dialog box?

[JohanDuPlessis]

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you.

Try this:

1. Select the desired beam in the model
2. Go to Design > Provided Reinforcement of RC Elements

@JohanDuPlessis When I do that, RSA is not popping up that dialog box. That is my issue.

[JohanDuPlessis]

Try running required reinforcement calculation first.

What is the design code you are using?

And how is your beam supported in the model, by columns, walls or beams?  Give at least a screenshot.
