10. Model Code Libraries
In the Design environment of iDIANA you may interactively specify
material properties [Vol. Pre- and Postprocessing].
On a special aspect tab Model Code Libraries you can choose materials
for which iDIANA can automatically generate the required properties.
There are three concepts: Concrete [§10.1],
Steel [§10.2] and Reinforcement steel [§10.3].
Regardless of the applied units in the various codes,
the aspect tab Predefined always shows the preset values
for the parameters in SI units.
For instance if for a certain material the code gives the value for Young's
modulus as
E = 210000
N/mm2
,
then the parameter value shows up as 2.1E11 .
Application of predefined material classes requires
that the finite element model is defined in SI units.
It is the user's own responsibility that the applied units are SI.

Volume Analysis Procedures.
