Percentage of Error in Finite Element Analysis and Solutions

As it is known, within the scope of RYTEIE-2019, the analysis of masonry structures with finite elements is stipulated. Since the system model in masonry structures can be complex, it is necessary to ...

Creating a Static Model from a DWG/DXF File

Reducing Load Transfer Errors Caused by Slab Layout

If there is partial discontinuity on any edge of the slab from the StatiCAD program (ie, only 1 m of the 4 m slab edge is supported), the program considers the relevant edge to be supported. And it tr...

Modifying Slab Properties

1- There are two overlapping objects at the location of the slab: the slabs and the slab analysis axis. Slabs are shown in light blue color as solid fills. The slab analysis axis is displayed with a +...

Intermediate Tie Beam - Tie Beam in the Middle and Top of a Wall

Since there is no corresponding provision in the earthquake code for this situation, no special definition has been made in the program. Drawing a beam/tie beam overlapping with walls causes load tra...

Balcony Parapet Walls

Entering non-load-bearing walls into the StatiCAD-Yigma program may lead to incorrect analysis results. According to the Earthquake Code, Article 5.8, walls with a gap of at least 10 mm between the t...
