Concrete Design Input | ideCAD Help Center

You can examine the concrete design input on the building model.

Location of Concrete Design Input Feature

Ribbon menu Structural Inspection tab Input title under concrete, wall loads, elements sections, beam live load by clicking on one of the command Concrete Design can be accessed from the tab.

You can also access the Concrete Design tab by clicking the Analysis Model command under the ribbon menu, Concrete tab, Structural Inspection heading .

Design Input Types

Design input types and examples
Element materials The materials defined for the elements are displayed on the elements in the display window. Elements with different materials are painted in different colors. From the color scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color represents which material.
Element sections The sections used to the elements are displayed on the elements in the view window. Elements with different cross sections are painted in different colors. From the color scale on the left of the screen, you can see which color represents which section.
Element lengths The lengths of the rod elements are shown in the display window. Elements with different lengths are painted in different colors. From the color scale on the left of the screen, you can see which color represents which length value.
Stiffness reductions In the stiffness reduction tab in the element settings, the elements whose stiffness has been changed by the user are colored red in the display window.
Overridden elements Stiffness reduction was made by the user, overridden section parameter was used, defined temperature parameter, etc. If there are elements whose element options have been modified, they are colored red in the view window.
Shearwall groups It shows the shearwalls defined as shearwall group.
Shearwall thickness Shearwalls of different thickness appear in different colors in the view window. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which thickness value.
Shearwall types Different types of shearwalls are painted in different colors in the view window. From the color scale on the left of the screen, you can see which color represents which type.
Slab thicknesses Slabs of different thicknesses are painted in different colors in the view window. From the color scale on the left of the screen, you can see which color represents which thickness.
Slab coating loads The slabs with different coating loads are painted in different colors in the view window. From the color scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color represents which load.
Slab total dead loads Lining loads and self weights of slabs are based on summation. Elements with different values are shown in different colors. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which load value.
Slab live loads The slabs with different live loads are painted in different colors in the view window. From the color scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color represents which load.
Wall loads The wall loads defined for the beams are displayed on the beams in the view window. Beams with different wall loads are painted in a different color. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which load value.
Beam live loads Live loads defined to the beams are displayed on the beams in the view window. Beams with different live loads are painted in a different color. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which load value.
T - Beam width Beams with different plate widths appear in a different color in the view window. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which length value.
Modulus of subgrade reaction The bed coefficient value used is shown on raft plates. From the scale on the left of the screen, it can be seen which color corresponds to which bedding coefficient value.
