Title: CADD Application to Structural Framing Systems
Abstract: This presentation illustrates the formulation of a Computer Aided Analysis/Design/Detail (CADD) program package utilizing a common microcomputer data base. It presents a new CADD technique and discusses why this method is cost-effective, time-efficient, and, in the near future, mandatory for those in the competitive structural steel market. Programs have been developed for use on clear span rigid frames and multistory buildings based upon this methodology. Program packages are based on a method of conceptualizing the structure which uses input of fabricated component data to formulate the traditional structural analysis member utilized in an elastic analysis and design process.
