Run 3D only (Static)

The 3D only (Static) analysis process can be used to save time during scheme design, for example while addressing overall stability, sway, drift, wind drift, etc.

As indicated in the table below, the analyses included in the process vary according to the model content and the options specified on the Analysis page of Design Settings.


Analysis type	Included in 3D only (Static)?
1st order 3D analysis (linear or non-linear)*	Always included
2nd order analysis (linear or non-linear)*	Included if second-order analysis has been specified on the Analysis page of Design Settings
Grillage chasedown	Included if one or more concrete members exist
FE chasedown	Included if two-way spanning slabs exist
1st order staged construction analysis (linear or non-linear)* or 2nd order staged construction analysis (linear or non-linear)*	According to if ‘First-order’ or ‘Second-order’ analysis and ‘Include staged construction analysis’ have been specified on the Analysis page of Design Settings If ‘Include staged construction analysis’ have been specified on the Analysis page of Design Settings this will be included (as 1st or 2nd order according to the 'Analysis' setting on the same page.)
* If the model contains non-linear elements the analysis will be non-linear, otherwise it will be linear

To run 3D only (Static):

Open the Process window.
(This step is optional but can provide feedback on the analyses as they are performed.)
On the Analyze ribbon, click 3D only (Static).

At the end of the analyses if a 2D or 3D view is active it is switched to a Results View.
