A typical Diamonds workflow

1. Geometry

2. Loads

  • Definition of load groups
  • Put loads on model
  • Load combination generation ULS/SLS

3. Elastic analysis

4. Design

Concrete

  • Select concrete design code
  • Calculate reinforcement
  • (Assign practical reinforcement)
  • Calculate cracking & creep
  • Verify deformations and cracking widths

Steel/Timber

  • Buckling: set buckling lengths
    • Let Diamonds calculate them
      • Group / ungroup bars
      • Calculate buckling lengths
    • Impose manually
  • Lateral buckling: set lateral buckling lengths
