1.  Build the Model
  1. Building a Model Guideline
  2. Building Model Check
2.  Derive Beam Loads using the "Yield Line" (tributary area) approach.
2a.  FE Load Decomposition
3.  Run general Building Analysis
  1. Include Slab in Building Analysis
3a.   FE Floor Analysis (Flat Slab/ Sub-Frame)
  1. Check & verify analytical model in FE Analysis Post-Processing
  1. Merge column and/ or beam forces with lateral results from Building Analysis.
3b.  Use same FE models (with slab meshed)
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
