Composite structures by EN 1994, merge bars function,

[Anonymous]

1. Full support of calculation steel-concrete (composite) structures with fire resistance by EN 1994. Composite beams with connection of RC plate to upper flange, slim-floor beams, partially-encased columns, composite columns from tube sections with or without H-section in it and etc

2. There is "Divide" function in Robot, but often need reverse function - "Merge bar" function to merge small bars into one.

These ideas are already proposed 2-3 years ago (with no much success specialy for the first one). So please support them

For the moment merge bars could be done using this application (api) ->  http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/robot-structural-analysis/api-addin-for-merging-bars/td-p/3817730
