CADS Footfall Analysis | Features

  • Footfall Analysis links with RFEM, using the model geometry from there, thus the user is not required to create a second model specifically for footfall analysis
  • Allows the user to analyze any type of structure for footfall analysis, irrespective of the shape, material, or use
  • Quick and accurate predictions of resonant and impulsive (transient) responses
  • Cumulative measurement of vibration levels – VDV analysis
  • Intuitive output enabling the engineer to advise improvements of critical areas in a cost-effective way
  • Pass/fail limit check in accordance with BS 6472 and ISO 10137
  • Selection of excitation forces: CCIP-016, SCI P354, AISC DG11 for floors and stairs
  • Frequency weighting curves (BS 6841)
  • Quick investigation for full model or specific areas
  • Vibration Dose Analysis (VDV)
  • Adjusting the minimum and maximum walking frequencies as well as the walker’s weight
  • User input damping values
  • Varying the number of footfalls for resonant response, user input or software calculated
  • Environmental response limit based on BS 6472 and ISO 10137
