When you try to calculate the reinforcement 
in PowerPlate, you get the error:
[NL]: U dient eerst de elastische analyse uit te voeren vooraleer de wapening te berekenen!
[FR]: Il faut d’abord faire l’analyse élastique avant de calculer les armatures!
Solution 1
- Click on
to do the elastic analysis.
In the results configuration
, you should be able to see for example the internal forces. PowerPlate cannot calculate reinforcement without internal forces. If the internal forces are not visible, go to Solution 2.
Solution 2
It’s possible the analysis remains stuck. The button remains pressed in and no results are available.
The cause is usually an error in the geometry. For example: a préslab for which the total thickness hx » is imposed, but for which the in situ cast thickness hz » is left to 0. So check all the elements in your model for errors like this.
