Storey Force
The Storey Force workflow tool is used to show forces on each storey of the building to investigate the flow of force through the entire structure or on selected elements grouped into SET_PARTs.
In PRIMER, you can define cross sections for each SET_PART, for every storey of the building.
In T/HIS, storey forces are extracted for each of the cross sections you defined in PRIMER and then storey curves are generated – plotted on graphs.
This allows you to interrogate the global behaviour of the structure and make changes to member designs or structural layout if necessary.
Finally, you can generate automated reports with the REPORTER templates provided.
In the report, corresponding D3PLOT views are paired with each T/HIS plot to highlight the corresponding SET_PART(s) in the model.
