Structural Analysis |
The structural analysis model in the initial GC with MDO implementation is a minimal model geared towards providing the STAAD analysis engine with sufficient information to perform structural simulations and return information about the design's structural performance.
Smember Node|
Most relevant participants in structural analysis are the linear members that carry loads from their points of impact on the structure to the foundation.
The SNodes identified as start and end nodes and shared between connected SMembers determine the type of connection between those linear members as Fixed or Pinned. The StartNode and EndNode properties are replicatable.
