In Sofistik Structural Desktop you can verify the value of all paremeters considered for a selected norm under “System Information > Boxed Values” (refer to picture below).
Check .ini files below in sofistik directory
Thanks for the reply! Checking the ini files is an option; however, what I would like to do is to verify the actual values considered in my project, as a double check that the parameters indeed correspond to the norm / country selected.
I was wondering whether it could be done with “ECHO” or reading from the database.
Have you tried ECHO EXTR?
That might give you all the values in your report.
Yes, I tried it but, unfortunately, it only shows the parameters indicated in the initial message.
Hello Andrew,
thank you for your question.
In my opinion it is an important topic. However, I do not have a fast solution. I will think about it and discuss it with my colleagues.
During the implementation of the Eurocodes of the first generation 1 years ago, we did not think, that we get so many boxed values in the several National Annexes. The National Annexes was introduced later and differed more often from the origin Eurocode. That’s why we decided to manage this about boxed values in special INI files.
Please note, that not all boxed values are stored in a special INI file. Only these boxed values which are different from the origin Eurocode are stored. And in the INI files for bridges only these boxed values are stored which are different to building design.
It is also in TEDDY possible to modify boxed values with the program AQUA record TVAR:
e.g. tvar ‘alf-cc’ 0.9 scop desi modifies the value alpha-cc from EN 1992-1-1 3.1.6
