Summary
Defining the contact surface treatment ensures that PROFIS Engineering correctly applies the interaction behaviour between the existing and new concrete members. This setting affects how forces are transferred across the interface and helps produce accurate design results.
Prerequisites
Make sure you:
- Are logged in to your PROFIS Engineering account
