Create SeismoStruct project in the Building Modeller

A SeismoStruct project is created from the main menu (File >Exit and Create Project) or through the corresponding toolbar button . When this option is selected, a new window appears for the definition of for structure’s loading , depending on the analysis type.

Note: When creating a SeismoStruct project file from the Building Modeller, the structural mass is modelled by the material's specific weight, and the sections' additional mass parameters. The former accounts for the mass of the columns, the walls and the beams, while the latter accounts for the mass that corresponds to the slabs' self weight, additional permanent and live loads. These defined masses are transformed to gravity loads, through the relevant setting in Gravity & Mass, i.e. 'Loads (ONLY in the gravity direction) are derived from Masses, based on the g value'.
