Introduction to Creating the Super-structure

Creating the superstructure.

00:07

In this learning path, we shall be

00:09

starting to develop the structural design

00:12

with the creation of the superstructure.

00:15

First, we're going to copy over the concrete elevator

00:18

shaft and floors from the architect's model

00:21

into the structural model and edit them

00:23

so that they can be read by robots for structural analysis.

00:28

The floors will then be edited to include openings

00:31

necessary for the elevator shaft pair

00:33

as the main duct rises that need to pass

00:36

through the second floor slab.

00:40

Next, we should demonstrate the steps involved

00:42

in modeling a steel frame consisting of vertical columns

00:46

and horizontal beams.

00:49

Finally, we should add diagonal cross braces

00:52

to the frame with the help of a framing elevation,

00:56

and then review the status of the analytical model.
