Robot Structural analysis

What is the best way to create a one way ribbed slab in RSA to get the best results? Is it by defining the slab properties under the orthotropic (new thickness), or by modelling the topping as a panel and the ribs as bar elements?

  1. Defining slab under orthotropic is default approach. By modeling panel & bar element is equivalent approach. Both are ok, but in case of bar elements you can check analytical result for ribbed beam in details.
