Fastrak Building Designer Explained
Automatic Building and Element Design
- Auto design of complete buidlings.
- Detailed assessment of Lambda cr for the entire structure by inspection of every floor-to-floor drift of every column under the relevant notional horizontal load case.
- Comprehensive implementation of the assessment of floor vibration to SCI P076.
- Composite design can be provided with a range of steel decking or with pre-cast concrete planks.
- Sections can be hot rolled steel, plated sections, Fabsec, Westok, Porthole, ASB or Slimflor beams.
- Enhanced support for Westok beams (2 way integration with the 'Cellbeam' design software. Model in Fastrak, send to and refine in Cellbeam, then return to Fastrak).
- Web openings, with or without local stiffening, can be designed.
- Simple, rigid (moment) and concrete filled columns.
- Columns can be spliced as required - including simple design.
- Column base plate design including moment forces.
- Floors can be tied by floor bracing or defined as diaphragms.
- Building/Frame stability can be provided by various forms of bracing including X, A, <, /, K etc., moment (rigid) frames, concrete shear walls, or a mixture of all three.
- Design of general (continuous and moment) plated beams.
