c. All input data i.e Model Definition

d. Depending upon what you are designing select Column forces or Beam Forces or Pier forces. You
can create multiple filter files with the pertinent data.
Selecting only a given type of element reduces the size of the mdb and the data files created.
e. Select all basic load cases in the setting “Select Cases / Combos”. It is not essential to select the
load combinations as RCDC reads only the definition of
the combinations and not the forces for the same. The forces for the combinations are computed
during design time.
