Pre-Analysis Overview

Pre-Analysis Overview

Before analysing the building you must ensure that Project Parameters, Load Combinations, Wind & Storey Loads and Materials have been correctly defined. These settings are all located on the Pre-Analysis tab of the “Building Analysis” dialog. They are explained in detail in the following sections :
  1. Materials
  2. Project Settings / Parameters
  3. Load Combinations
  4. Wind and Storey Load
  5. Notional Load and Input
  6. Seismic Load - Basic Guide
  7. Seismic Analysis to Philippines NSCP2015
  8. Seismic Analysis to EuroCode 8
  9. Seismic Analysis to Indonesia SNI 1726 : 2019
  10. Seismic Analysis to India IS1893 2016
