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:
- Model Options
- Building Analysis
- Rigid Zone Interpretations
- Diaphragm Modelling Example
- Difference between Building Analysis and FE Floor Analysis
- What is Merge FE Column / Beam results with Example
- Analytical Model
- Detailed Design Diagram
- Reports
- Building Model Check
- Overview of Axial Load Comparison Report (Detail Example)
- How to check singularity or large deformation warnings during Building Analysis
- Analysis Warning: Diaphragm Nodes not in the same Plane
- Sway Sensitivity & Second-Order Effects
- Staged Construction Analysis
- Rigid Links Automatically Created inside Columns to Support offset Beams
- Rigid Link Created in Column when Beam Depth is More or Equal to the Storey Height
- Column Outline Modelling for Flat Slab and Transfer Slab Model
