Design and check slabs
After creating any necessary patches, you can determine the top and bottom reinforcement requirements in all the slab item areas that lie outside of the patch areas. Because patch areas are excluded from slab item design, you should create patches before designing slab items.
Slabs can only be designed/checked after slab design moments have been established from a suitable analysis. If valid analysis results do not yet exist you would need to create them (by, for example, clicking Analyze All (Static) from the Analyze toolbar).
