Design situation

Programs allow for defining four design situations in the frame "Settings".

- Persistent considers actions acting on the structure during the assumed lifetime (conventional service of a structure)
- Transient – considers actions acting on the structure over a short time interval (e.g. load actions attributed to construction)
- Accidental – considers exceptional actions on a structure (e.g. blast, vehicle impact, flood, etc.)
- Seismic – considers actions on a structure during seismic activity

Design situations determine which set of partial factors will be used in the analysis. Selection of design situation makes it possible to change partial factors in individual stages of calculation within one task.
