Elements of the Structural Analytical Model

The Structural Analytical Model represents a simplified version of the building’s load-bearing elements and their supports.

Which ARCHICAD Elements Participate in the Structural Analytical Model?

The element must meet the following conditions:

•Its Structural Function is Load-Bearing Element

•Generation of the Structural Analytical Model is enabled for the element (in element settings)

•It was created using one of the eligible ARCHICAD tools:

–Column

–Beam

–Wall

–Single-Plane Roof

–Slab

•If it is a composite or Complex Profile, it must include at least one Core skin/component

Note: Certain element geometries are not supported. See more at 1D Members (Column and Beam) and 2D Members (Slab, Wall, Roof))

Components of the Structural Analytical Model

The Structural Analytical Model consists of the following:

Two new tools support generation of the Structural Analytical Model:

Other components are Nodes End/Edge Releases, and Local Coordinate System.
