Fastrak Building Designer Explained

Modelling

Simple 2D or 3D input of floors and frames for rapid model generation.
Create any arrangement of grid lines to help you input the structure quickly and simply.
Import DXF drawing to automatically create grid lines.
Import architects' plans in DXF. The architectural drawing can be 'traced over' to generate the Fastrak model.
Create and work with beams, columns and slabs, handled as design objects not analytical elements.
Import models from 3D+^TM or other 3d based systems, automatically creating a Fastrak design model.
No practical limit to the geometry of the model.
Inclined beams, floors, complex roof structures, trusses etc - all are modelled in Fastrak.
Floors can be tied by bracing or diaphragm action.
Frames can be rigid or braced with X, A, >, /, K etc.
Members can be any material including concrete and timber.
Concrete shear walls and cores can be modelled (for sway assessment).
Support for curved members including Westok beams.
Automatic generation of roof members, secondary steel and panels, including the automatic generation of restraint positions.
