Hello,
I’m currently working on a simple bridge model in SOFiSTiK to get familiar with the software. The bridge is 10 meters wide and 14 meters long, without prestressing. My goal is to correctly design the slab reinforcement based on the applied loads.
However, I’ve encountered some issues and would greatly appreciate any guidance.
When I run the CSM Bridge Design – Superpositioning, I receive a large number of errors in the MAXIMA module. It seems that the system fails to generate results for the QUAD elements and spring supports.
Here are two examples from the log:
i’ve tried several approaches, but I’m not sure how to resolve this issue or what it actually stems from.
Issue with multilayer reinforcement design
I’m trying to perform multilayer reinforcement design based on the results from superpositioning. However, when I attempt to reference a combined load case (LC 1128), I receive an error saying that the load case is not available.
Here is the relevant part of my Teddy input:
here is the teddy code

I suspect either the load case is not being generated properly or not accessible at the point I’m referencing it. Any help on how to correctly pass superposed results into reinforcement design would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
I’m new to SOFiSTiK and trying to build a solid foundation. Any input is appreciated.
