 Click on generate fill up seismic parameter accordingly and click on Add button
 Click on zone under seismic Definition and click on Add button.
 Define self weight, member weight & floor weight and click Add. Assign member to
the beams. Floor weights have to define its range in X, Y & Z direction.
 Select Load Cases Details and click on Add button of load and definition dialog box
 Select load type seismic and give the title as ’seismic X’.
 Repeat for seismic –X, Z, -Z,
 Select seismic X, click add and define seismic loads and give factor as 1.
 Repeat the above process for seismic –X, -Z, & Z but have to change its factor
accordingly.
 Click on Load Case Detail & click Add
 Select the load type as Dead and give the title as DL
 Then click on Add button
 Select the load type as live and give the title as LL
 Then click on Add button
 Select DL from the load cases details and click Add button.
 For dead load add selfweight with factor -1, member load(weight of wall) and Floor load
(providing range in Y direction.)
Assigned selfweight to view, member load to all beam and floor load to floor
 For live load, add floor load and specifying the Y range

Combination of load
 Go to command, loading load combination.
 Give factor as 1.2.
 Give the name of the load combination( such as DL + LL + seis X). Select combination
of load such as DL +LL + seismic X and click add.
 Repeat above process for seismic –X, Z & -Z. Give name differently in order not to
confuse.
 Perform analysis and run analysis

DESIGN
 Click on design tab and choose concrete
 Select the code
 Choose select parameter using select parameter button.
 Parameters are 1) clear cover, 2)Fc & 3)Fymain
 Define above parameter using define parameter button and assign all parameter to view

4. Wind load analysis on RCC building
 Draw a structure.
 Define the shape property and assigned to column, beam and floor
 Define support and assigned to required nodes
 Go to command loading definition wind load Add
 Select wind load from Wind definition and click add.
 Calculate intensity and provide exposure factor. Assign exposure factor to all nodes.
 Select Load Cases Details and click on Add button of load and definition dialog box
 Select load type wind and give the title as ’wind X’.
 Repeat for wind –X, Z, -Z,
 Select wind X, click add and define wind loads and define Y range.
 Repeat the above process for seismic –X, -Z, & Z.
 Click on Load Case Detail & click Add
 Select the load type as Dead and give the title as DL
 Then click on Add button
 Select the load type as live and give the title as LL
 Then click on Add button
 Select DL from the load cases details and click Add button.

5. Analysis & Design of Howe roof truss
 Click on view from +Z
 Click on Edit fro the Snape Node/Beam
and edit the spacing based on drawing,
here spaceing is 2.4 & 3.6 in X&Y
direction resp. This is done inorder to easy
drawing.
 Draw outer triangle potion of truss &
angular struts and turn off Snape
Node/Beam
 Right click on king post rafter, select
Insert node. Click on Add mid-point and
ok.
 Now using Add beam button, join the line from mid-point of king post rafter to tie beam
in perpendicular direction.
 Give the support from support page button. Click on support page button give support
accordingly. Create pinned support and fixed but support and assign them to node
accordingly. For fixed but support, choose Fx & Mz.
 Go to property page and go to section database. Click on Steel and choose code. Here
I am choosing IS code. Click on Angle and choose angle.
 Assign angle to Assign to view.
 Go to load page, click on load cases details and click on Add button.
 Choose loading type as dead. Give tittle as DL, click on Add button and close the
dialog box.
 Click on DL and click on Add. Add self-weight & nodal load 8 KN(this is according to
drawing).
 Assign self-weight to view and nodal load to 3 upper nodes.
 Perform analysis and run analysis.
 Go to design from the page control and click Steel. Choose code IS800.
 Click on select parameter, select FYLD. Click OK
 Define parameter from define parameter button data area and Add it. Assign to view.
 Click on commands button and add CHECK CODE, MEMBER TAKEOFF,
SELECT and TAKEOFF
 Assign CHECK CODE, MEMBER TAKEOFF, SELECT and TAKEOFF to view.
 Perform analysis and run analysis.
