Concrete Analysis Model

The physical model created in the interface during the building modeling is converted into an analytical model according to the finite element method. This conversion process is done by modeling in three dimensions in accordance with the Finite Element Method. The finite element method is the mathematical expression of a physical model. In concrete elements, the analysis model is created in three dimensions .

In concrete elements;

  • Column and beam elements are modeled with beam finite elements, considering all 6 degrees of freedom at the nodal points.

  • Shearwalls and slabs are modeled with shell finite elements (shell) containing degrees of freedom for both in-plane and out-of-plane displacements . At the nodes of shell finite elements, all 6 degrees of freedom are taken into account.
