Hello,
I am currently designing a footing slab for a university project. Unfortunately, I am having problems with the reinforcement – I wanted to apply surface result adjustments in the areas with high loads – I had read that this is an option. The loads are already defined as free rectangular loads instead of point loads.
However, my program keeps crashing, so I can no longer perform any further calculations – is there a solution for this?
Thank you very much and best regards
Emily

Hello and welcome to the Dlubal Community! 
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing crashes.
Unfortunately, I was unable to reproduce the problem with the file you provided. Could you please describe in more detail, based on your provided file, how the crash occurs, and perhaps provide some steps that lead to the error? It would help me greatly to better understand the problem and assist you quickly.
Hello, yes, I wanted to apply an area result adjustment over a section in a narrow exterior surface to average my values there because I probably have to deal with voltage spikes. I wanted to do this for the contact voltage and also for the reinforcement. I create the area via the table and also assign it to the surface. As soon as I let the program calculate, it crashes – when reopening, I can neither recalculate nor zoom in and always have to delete the object via the table to be able to do anything at all. I had also considered setting a result cut. I have attached a new version of the model. The result cuts are in the model – I had to delete the area adjustment sections because otherwise I cannot save it. I mainly need this to determine averages for the required reinforcement in the areas. 250226-B.rf6 (1.2 MB) Thank you very much and best regards, Emily
Hello Emily,
can you save the model after you have created the surface result adjustment and before you click calculate and the program crashes? Then please provide the corresponding file. Thank you very much.
Hello,
unfortunately, I can't save it with the adjustment – is there any other way?
And I have a direct question about that: Is there also a way to carry out a punching shear verification under free rectangular loads?
Could you please tell me the steps (based on this file 250226-B.rf6) or record a video showing how I get to the crash? Thank you very much.
Free rectangular loads for punching shear checks are still problematic at the moment. It is better to work with "real" loads.
