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 "Results by Story" table of a building model shows the center of gravity for load cases and load combinations. In addition to the self-weight, the vertical loads of the respective load cases and load combinations are also taken into account.
You can also use the "Center of Gravity and Information About Selected Objects" dialog box to display the center of gravity, taking into account the selected loading.
For the "Load Transfer" surface stiffness type, there are curved geometries available, such as "Quadrangle", "NURBS", and "Rotation", in addition to the "Plane" and "Pipe" geometry types.
The "Create surface cells due to openings" option is available to you in the surface shortcut menu. It allows you to easily create the lines for the columns of timber panel walls (using the "Beam Panel" thickness type), for example.
In the "Import Support Reaction" load wizard, the "Free Loads" object connection type is available in addition to the "Manual" ones. This option saves you the task of manually assigning the support reactions to specific nodes and lines. The support forces of the connected model are applied as free loads in the case of this option.
