Erection stage plots

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am trying to set up a basic beam design to check the beam during transfer, erection and construction stages. The bridge is constructed by placing prefab pre-stressed beams and then casting a concrete deck on these beams.

In the beam analysis, when I choose "analyse for: Beam erection", the plot shows a stress plot of the stresses at erection + the stresses due to construction. Is this correct? It doesn’t seem to correspond with the results in the documentation.

How do we get SBD to produce a plot showing only the stresses at erection?

Attached is my SBD file

Kind regards

Hi Oliver

Thanks for the file.  I agree the plot looks wrong as it shouldn't include the stresses from the insitu.  I will get it looked at asap.

I just want to confirm that this is a defect which has been addressed for the next release.
