Member design stage of the combined analysis and design process

The final step in the Design All (Static) process is member design for all members for all available sets of design forces.

Steel Member Design Forces

The 3D Analysis results are the only results set used in steel member design.

Concrete Member Design Forces

Up to three sets of analysis results will exist for concrete member design as follows:

  • 3D Analysis results will always be used to design all beams, columns and walls.
  • Grillage Chasedown results will exist for gravity loadcases if the model contains any concrete beams, in which case they will also be used to design all beams, columns and walls.
  • FE Chasedown results for gravity loadcases will also exist if the model contains 2-way spanning slabs.

    Concrete beams can be designed for this set of results by checking the 'Design Beams for FE Chasedown analysis results' box under Design > Design Options > Concrete > Beam > General Parameters

    Columns and walls can also be designed for this set of results by checking similar boxes on their respective General Parameters pages.

Reset Autodesign

On completion of your chosen design process, the original member design mode assigned to each member can either be retained or updated. (For example, you might typically reset auto-designed steel members into check mode if they have a pass status.) The action that is taken is controlled via Design Options > Autodesign.

Design Review

On completion of the Design All (Static) process the Review View and Review toolbar open automatically.

In this view a color coded version of the model is displayed so that the pass/fail status and utilization ratio of each beam, column and wall can be reviewed graphically. Various other parameters can also be graphically interrogated and/or modified.
