Modelling, Analysis & Design Flowchart


Info
With reference to the flow chart, click on the links below for details.
1.  Build the Model
  1. Building a Model Guideline
  2. Building Model Check
2.  Derive Beam Loads using the "Yield Line" (tributary area) approach.
3.  Run general Building Analysis
  1. Include Slab in Building Analysis
  1. Check & verify analytical model in FE Analysis Post-Processing
  1. Merge column and/ or beam forces with lateral results from Building Analysis.
4.  Check & Verify "Analytical Model"
  1. Identify & resolve large deformation & unstable joints warning 
5.  Check Axial Load Comparison Report
6.  Design 
      6.1.      Beam Design
      6.2.      Column/ Wall Design
      6.3.      Foundation Design
      6.4.      Slab Design

The diagram below shows the analytical differences between Building Analysis (slab excluded), Building Analysis (slab included) & FE Floor Analysis.
