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.
