At first, the preliminary layout of the structure is made, which is a part of Architectural Design with ideCAD Architectural. Then, the structure layout is handed over to the structural engineer. This layout is useful in determining the type of structure to be used and the general size, shape, and arrangement of the various parts of the structure.

Once the required calculations for the structure are done, certain checks are performed to ensure the structure remains durable, sound, and stiff. Architectural Design and Structural Design are meaningless without each other. It is a combination of creativity and technicality.

With ideCAD, concrete, and steel structures are analyzed and designed with the Integrated approach. Concrete and steel design is made by applying ASCE 7-16 and ACI 318-19 International Design Codes conditions. Concrete design parameters and reinforcement and concrete parameters (spacers, minimum percentage, minimum stirrup spacing, shear cross reinforcement type, etc.) to be used to design concrete elements (column, beam, slab, shearwall, foundation, retaining wall, etc.) are determined. The Structural design results of concrete and steel elements are examined from their dialogues, and necessary interventions are made.
