Week 11 Challenge

1. Design the slab and foundation of the model. Outline the thought process for designing of the elements (column, beam, slab and foundations)

AIM : To design the slab and foundation of model. 

TOOLS USED : 1st order analysis, Anlaysis All (static), Status, Check Panel, Properties window, Catalogue, Pile Cap Column, Validate.

PROCEDURE :

1. Open the file created previously in TSD and open the 3D view.

2. Click on 1st order analysis and perform analysis and also perform Anlaysis All (statics).

3. click on status in the results view.

4. Select one slab and right click and choose Check Panel and see the errors that arise.
