Having modeled your structure and defined the parameters/loading to be applied, you are now ready to generate the member design forces. These are determined by performing a 3D analysis of the whole building.
The pre and post analysis stages, along with the various applicable analysis options are fully described in the following sections:
Having modeled your structure and defined the parameters / loading to be applied, you are now ready to perform 3D building analysis of the whole building. To begin analysis, go to Analysis top ribbon > click "Building Analysis" to launch the analysis ...
Typical steps for the creation of a building model are outlined below. The forms (dialog) for the first three steps will automatically appear when a new project is defined. The best way to learn how to build a new model is to go through our ...
Options to be used in analysis can be specified in “Model Options” page of “Building Analysis” form. “Model Options” comprises of four tab pages namely, Model, Shear Wall Model, Slab Model, and Settings. Any modifications made in this page can be ...
Physical Model vs Analytical Model The 3D model you built is a physical model with actual member size rendered visually. The analysis converts the physical model into the analytical model (as shown below). The analytical model is essentially a ...
The building model check will check for possible modelling errors or mistakes. It is highly recommended to perform "Building Model Check" progressively when building the model so that problems are identified early in the project before running an ...
