Analysis and Design

You can use Analysis+Design with appropriate design parameters by opening the Analysis and Design project file, which has the structural system and load model properly arranged.

  • Click on the Analysis Settings command.

  • The Analysis Settings dialog will open.

  • In the General tab, select the Seismic Forces Calculation Method as the Mode Combination Method Using Response Spectrum.

  • Select Use Semi Rigid Diaphragms from the Slab Diaphragms Modelling Method section.
