AStrutTie Outlines

Parent Previous Next

The AstrutTie consists of 7 windows as shown below.


(1) Pull-down Menu & Shortcut Icon Menu Window

Most of the AStrutTie functions can be called in the pull-down menu window. Quick modeling of a concrete member is possible by using shortcut menus of the shortcut icon menu window.


(2) Modeling and Result Display Window

In this window, the finite element models for plane solid and truss structures and their analysis results including compressive principal stress flows, evolutionary structural optimization, and cross-sectional forces of struts and ties are visualized. The structural design report (html, Excel) can be previewed and printed in Report tab.


(3) Tree Menu Window

All types of information on the geometry of concrete member, element and node numbers, boundary and load conditions, and element and node groups are presented in this window. The list of structural design report is also shown.


(4) View Options Window

The view options regarding the finite element models of plane solid and truss structures, structural analysis results, and available widths of strut-tie model elements can be set.  


(5) Output Display Window

In this window, the finite element analysis results of plane solid and strut-tie model is displaced in real time.


(6) Tree Menu Tab Window

The transformations of tree menus (Work, Group, Report) are possible.


(7) Design Code & Unit Selection Window

The design code and unit employed in the strut-tie model design are selected in this window.
