This guide assumes you have the software installed (Advance Design, or Advance Design Steel/Concrete modules).
: Generate the mesh for your structure to prepare for calculation.
This feature focuses on mastering Graitec Advance Design’s powerful FEM engine to perform automated seismic analysis according to international standards (such as Eurocode 8 or ACI). The tutorial guides users through the complete workflow—from defining seismic spectra to generating automatic load combinations—eliminating the tedious manual calculations often associated with seismic design.
Your analysis is done. Now the steel fabricator needs the model.
: Define your country and code standards (e.g., Eurocode 3 for Steel).
