RAM concept PT slab design strips. Code slab vs full width

Hello Support team,

I have just started using RAM concept.

I design my PT slab to Eurocode 2

If choose 'code slab' columns strip width calculation method, the design of the slab will be based on TR 43 requirements and the slab will be allowed to crack in frequent/characteristic service design stage. (It would be useful for the software to give a warning if the tensile stresses are exceeded and crack width control has been undertaken, as it is generally not recommended for the tensile stresses to be exceeded)

If I choose 'full width' for column strip width calc, then the design of the slab will be based on TR 43 except the fact that the cracks will not be allowed.

Is above interpretation correct?
