Design models
Steel members, concrete members and walls
From the Design tab on the ribbon you can batch design all steel members, cast-in-place concrete
members and walls. The necessary analysis is automatically performed as part of the
batch design process. As an alternative to batch design, once analysis has been
performed you might choose to selectively design parts of the model as required.
- To get to know about batch and selective member and wall design, see: Design steel members and cast-in-place concrete beams, columns and walls
- As part of the design process, drift/sway, seismic drift, and wind drift checks are automatically performed as required. To find out more about these checks, see: Check drift, sway, seismic drift, wind drift, and overall displacements
Concrete slabs
From the Design tab on the ribbon you can batch design all concrete slabs, slab patches and run
all punching shear checks. From the same tab you can also check the response of
floors to dynamic excitation. As an alternative to batch slab design, once analysis
has been performed you might choose to selectively design or check selected slabs
and slab patches as required.
- To find out about these slab, patch and punching shear design methods, see Design slabs and run punching shear checks
- To check the response of floors to dynamic excitation, see: Create and run floor vibration checks
Timber and precast members
From the Design tab on the ribbon you can batch check all timber and precast member designs where
a linked Tedds calculation has been created. To find out more, see:
Steel connections
To find out about how to create and check various steel connection types, see: Create and check steel connections
Foundations
Foundation design is performed from the Foundations tab on the ribbon, see: Create and design foundations
