Fastrak Building Designer Explained
Loading Facilities
- Complete floor loading applied as a simple single input.
- Line load, patch load and point loads applied directly on to the beams or slabs for automatic load decomposition.
- Automatic building perimeter load facility.
- Automatic directional wind loading distribution.
- Automatic calculation of notional horizontal forces from the applied building loads as per BS 5950-1:2000, which permits consideration of lack of fit and an automatic assessment of the sway stability for the entire structure.
- Automatic reduction of imposed loads per BS 6399.
- Automatic validation of load applied versus the total reactions for each load type and load case.
- Optional load decomposition onto cold rolled elements.
Wind Load Modeller
- Automatically calculates and applies wind loading to BS 6399, to automatically created local zones, on a true 3D model
Complex floor loads are automatically distributed
Auto calculation of notional horizontal forces
Wind speeds derived from BreVe if required
3D application of net wind pressures
