Sta4CAD Features:

Nonlineer analysis of structures.    Rubber isolators, taking into account the isolators and foundations in static and modal analysis.

Analysis, design and drawing of mezzanine, non-orthogonal, disarranged or stepped structures.    Define geometry in story layout. Multiple copiying and editing the structure members.    3D analysis of structures. Rigid diaphragms. 6 unknowns for each node in static analysis. Modelling more than one diaphragms in a single story. Special solutions for the beams connect two different diaphragms.    Numerical integration for haunch ended or pinned/cracked beams' stiffness matrix and their drawings.    Compatiable with TS500, Eurocode, ACI ve SNIP code    2007, 1997 and 1975 Turkish seismic codes, irregularity checks. Checks for highly ductile structures.    Viewing the center of gravity and center of rigidity when designing the building, also 3D view of structure.

By defining the door/window openings on the brick walls, the loads are defined very clear so the design becomes more realistic and economic    Special brick mathematical model that works under only compressional stresses. Take into account the accurate negatif effect of brick walls in seismic calculations    Define pile foundations, calculate it's effect on soil stresses and structure.    Console type retaining wall calculations, outputs and drawings.    Sequential construction analyse can correct the member stresses from dead loads. For high buildings, it is vitally important to take into account the effect of construction steps.

Applying a real earthquake acceleration values to the designed model in order to find the stresses and displacements under applied earthquake. Compare the resuts with other earthquakes and Mode Superposition method.

Generate symmetrical structures automatically and compare the inputs and results in symmetrical buildings.    Fully graphical and detailly explained outputs.    Selecting the most economic design with help of the optimisation tools.    Analyse and design fictitious beams, check punching effects and generate drawings.    Take into account the eccentricity of member connections. DEfine more than one columns on a shear wall.    Automatically generate concrede/rebar quantity, calculation reports and drawings.    Represent basement walls with 6 noded panel member and generate drawings.    Defining spaces in slabs    Superstructure and the foundation system interact so that the settlements in the foundation system will effect the superstructure.

Ability to design and generate drawings for mat foundation with various heights/depths    FEA analysis for different type of stair systems, folded slabs, domes, vaults.    To see the verification tests of Sta4CAD shell members used in mat foundation and FEA analysis modules, click here.    International drawing technique.    Join two or more divided and separately solved buildings on foundation design.    By defining the soil surface, obtaining detailed information about the site.    Grid bar option in desogn and drawing for slabs and shear walls.    Turkish and English language is fully supported.
