Hello Joseph,
Have you checked the wiki posted by Kris? Does that not solve your issue? In that case upload the file.
I know IS800 2007 (Indian code) design solid rods for sure. If you are looking for any other code, please let me know the exact code. I will check and let you know.

When i did it by using bs 5950,it works,i dont know what is wrong with Eurocode?
This was the warning which i got when using Eurocode
WARNING: ABORTING EUROPEAN CODE DESIGN
Which version you are using? UI have tested the file in latest version 22.07.00.160 with Euro code and it runs without any error.
I am attaching the .anl for your ready reference. If you are using any older version please upgrade and check.

Please upgrade to V22 Update 7and check.
Update 7 has a problem in Mat foundation,the mat foundation will fail in punching shear check as i reported before even if you increase the depth of the mat foundation while the same thickness will pass in Update 5,that is why i shifted back to Update 5.
And i have more questions in Mat foundation,i posted here but i didnt get an answer,the design of beam in mat foundation is not available only slab designer is available i dont know what is wrong with my software
