After the architectural projects prepared with ideCAD Architecture are examined with ideCAD Structural, analysis and design is done and the analysis and design results are examined.
Open the working file with the ideCAD Structural program.
Click the Analysis Settings command.
Click the 2018 TDY Wizard for Analysis Settings command.
Specify the project information in order from the Parameters Input Screen for TDY 2018 window that opens.
From the Analysis Settings window, select Seismic Forces Calculation Method as the Mode Combination Method Using Response Spectrum.
4.8.5 Basement Calculation Method Using Modal Analysis section, select Separate Analysis for basements.
Select Use Semi Rigid Diaphragms from the Slab Diaphragms Modelling Method section.
Close the window by clicking the OK command.
Click Analysis Design tab in the ribbon menu.
Open the Concrete list from the Design Parameters section.
Click the General Concrete Reinforcement Parameters command from the Concrete list .
General Concrete Reinforcement Settings window will open.
In the General Concrete Reinforcement Settings window, minimum reinforcement interval, minimum general rebar joining length, rod length, etc. set the parameters and click OK to close the window.
Click the Column Parameters command from the Concrete list.
From the Column Parameters window that opens , you can set the concrete cover, minimum and maximum pursantage, minimum and maximum stirrup interval etc. Specify the column parameters and click OK to close the window.
Click the Beam Parameters command from the Concrete list.
From the Beam Parameters window that opens, concrete cover, minimum span tensile percentage, minimum and maximum stirrup interval, rebar extensions etc. Specify the beam parameters and click OK to close the window.
Click the Slab Parameters command from the Concrete list.
From the Slab Parameters window that opens , you can set the concrete cover, the minimum percentage, the minimum and maximum reinforcement intervals etc. set the slab parameters and click OK to close the window.
Similarly, the parameters of concrete elements such as foundations, shearwalls, stairs, piles, retaining walls can be adjusted from the Concrete list in the Design Parameters section .
Click Analysis and Design tab in the ribbon menu .
Click the Steel command in the Design Parameters section.
