Notes
- The detailed description of each of the reinforcement parameters presented in the tables may be seen in the ~RNFDEF and ~RNFMDF commands. Although a default value for the END parameter of all sections and its corresponding RKEY are defined, it has no sense to define it as distributed, because in this case, the reinforcement will always be distributed along the associated face, that is to say, along its length. However, if the distributed reinforcement is substituted by bars by default, the program will distribute the bars automatically, taken into account the END default value without being necessary to define it again. See ~RNFDEF and ~RNFMDF commands to add or modified reinforcements.
