The SAM is also useful if other structural analysis applications are being used, since the SAM can be exported to open-source formats such as SAF (Structural Analysis Format) and IFC SAV (IFC Structural Analysis View), which are supported by many third-party analysis applications. If ARCHICAD is connected to SCIA or RISA through BIMcloud (more on this later), the engineer can use the SAM directly in these applications for structural analysis and design, and the resulting structural model can be opened directly in ARCHICAD, making the integration bi-directional. Here, nodes in red indicate members with errors. Making adjustments to the structural analysis model to ensure proper support and connectivity of the analytical members. It also allows the analytical model to be adjusted to make the necessary corrections to ensure that all members are connected and supported (Figure 3).įigure 3. The SAM interface in ARCHICAD has display settings that can indicate if the model has any errors such as analytical members that do not properly connect to transfer loads. The SAM is created based on element definitions of load-bearing structures and on generation rules that can be customized.
For structure, ARCHICAD now has the ability to automatically create a structural analysis model (SAM) from the building model, which is what the structural engineer needs for the structural design of the project (Figure 2). Topping the list of enhancements in the new version of ARCHICAD are several features related to improved collaborative multidisciplinary design, allowing architects using ARCHICAD to work more closely with structural and MEP engineers on a building project. This article summarizes the key product updates that were shared by GRAPHISOFT at the event. The Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, designed by Fender Katsalidis using ARCHICAD.
