On performing a modal analysis (eigenfrequencies, eigenvalues) in PowerFrame, following error appears: Floating point division by zero Solution Mostlikely the correlation factor φ, for taking into account modal masses, is at 0 for all load groups: Go the Loads window In the palette, click on . Fill out the φ…
On calculating of the reinforcement , you get the following error: In order to calculate the reinforcement, Diamonds needs following load combinations: ULS FC – Ultimate Limit State Fundamental Combination SLS QP – Serviceability Limit State Quasi-Permanent Combinations SLS RC – Serviceability Limit State Rare Combination If one of these…
The images in the RTF report are pixelated after printing. The resolution of the printed images can be too low. However, you can set the resolution higher: Close Diamonds. Go to My Documents > Diamonds > {current version} Open Diamonds.ini with Notepad Press CTRL + F and search for TGENERALPREFERENCES_PREF. Scroll…
When Diamonds crashes on creating the load combinations, it probably means that you have to many load cases. For every load case, the favourable and unfavourable effect must be considerd, as well as the interaction with the other loads. Suppose that you have 17 different live loads, then Diamonds needs…
General Ay – Representation of the longitudinal reinforcement parallel to the local axis y’. Therefore, in most cases, this is the lower and upper reinforcement. Az – Representation of the longitudinal reinforcement parallel to the local axis z’. Therefore, in most cases, the lateral reinforcement. Awz – Representation of the…
With the parameter “always together” you can force the program to consider the loads of a load type always as one undividable load. Otherwise, ConCrete will automatically load some spans with the favourable load factor and other with the unfavourable load factor to obtain the most damaging load situation. It…
In the combinations ULS and SLS, load groups are multiplied with a safety factors for unfavourable and favourable effect. This results in minimum and maximum results for shear force, bending moments and deflections. The solid line is for the maximum result, the dashed line is for the minimum result.

There a 4 types of lines on the deflection graph: The black lines are the elastic deflections: A black dashed line for the minimum deflection A black solid line for the maximum deflection The red lines are the cracked deflections: A red dashed line for the minimum deflection A red…
On transferring a beam from Diamonds to ConCrete Plus, the message appears [NL]: Controleer of de horizontale benen in staat zijn om de krachtswerking te weerstaan [FR]: Vérifier la résistance des barres horizontales des cadres. Solution In Diamonds, beams can be loaded both in and out of the plane. This…
