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.
- Models can be imported from Revit Structure, or in industry standard formats such as SDNF (steelwork detailing neutral file), or 3DN (3D+TM).
- 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.
