Hello, I am currently working on a model that is based on a number of input parameters that a user can adapt to the desired values. These parameters include, of course, the material types. The model is (simply put) a concrete beam with reinforcement. For concrete, everything works great. For the reinforcement steel, however, I have the following problem: I want the user to be able to define the type of steel (e.g. #FYK = 500B), so that I can use this input in the module aqua and assign it to a material number. This is not possible because it is a number (500) and a letter (B). Is there any way to define a parameter that includes both numbers and letters? Or, equally helpful, is there a way to concatenate a number with a letter in the aqua module? The result should, however, not stand in ‘‘ “ marks, as then SOFiSTiK does not recognize the material. I have included a short version of the code below.
In module “template”:
$ BETONGEGEVENS
sto#FCK 30 $ Karakteristieke druksterkte [MPa]
sto#FYK 500B $ Wapeningsstaal [MPa]
sto#COV 0.04 $ Dekking [m]
In module “aqua”:
CONC NO 1 TYPE C FCN #FCK TITL ‘Beton_kesp’ EC 37278 GMOD 15532 ALFA 10e-6
STEE NO 2 TYPE B CLAS #FYK ALFA 10e-6
Thank you beforehand for any help provided! Have a good work day
