Splice: Splice for code check

Code Check Template: The code check template is utilized to extract global parameters, results from finite element analysis, and limit states employed in the design process.

Result Case To Find Points of Permanent Load Contraflexure: According to AASHTO 6.11.1.1, the effective span can be determined differently for simple spans and continuous spans. For continuous spans, the effective span length should be calculated based on the points of contraflexure of the major axis bending moment under permanent loads, or by considering both simple supports and points of contraflexure. Following this approach, it is necessary to specify the result extraction case that represents the permanent loads to identify the points of contraflexure and, subsequently, the effective spans. This parameter is used to define the result extraction case to be applied in calculations related to contraflexure.
