You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
The building model is calculated in two phases:
- Global 3D calculation of the global model, where the slabs are modeled as a rigid plane (diaphragm) or as a bending plate
- Local 2D calculation of the individual floors
After the calculation, the results of the columns and walls from the 3D calculation and the results of the slabs from the 2D calculation are combined in a single model. This means that there is no need to switch between the 3D model and the individual 2D models of the slabs. The user only works with one model, saves valuable time, and avoids possible errors in the manual data exchange between the 3D model and the individual 2D ceiling models.
The vertical surfaces in the model can be divided into shear walls and opening lintels. The program automatically generates internal result members from these wall objects, so they can be designed as members according to any standard in the Concrete Design add-on.
In the Modal Analysis add-on, you have the option to automatically increase the sought eigenvalues until reaching a defined effective modal mass factor. All translational directions activated as masses for the modal analysis are taken into account.
Thus, it is possible to easily calculate the required 90% of the effective modal mass for the response spectrum method.
The Time History Analysis add-on provides you with accelerograms for the calculation. This extension allows for dynamic structural analysis of the acceleration-time diagrams.
There is an extensive library of earthquake records available for you, but you can also enter or import your own diagrams. The time history analysis is performed using the modal analysis or the linear implicit Newmark analysis.
The member hinge nonlinearity "Scaffolding N | phiy,phiz" allows you to simulate an inserted scaffolding tube joint.
