Graitec Advance Design Tutorial |work| ✅

This guide assumes you have the software installed (Advance Design, or Advance Design Steel/Concrete modules).

• Go to Results > Beams > Moment My.
• Click any beam. A colorful diagram appears.
• Interpretation: Red means positive moment (tension bottom), Blue means negative (tension top).

1. Define materials – C25/30 concrete, B500 steel
2. Model slabs as shell elements (thickness 20 cm)
3. Model columns + shear walls as shells or beams
4. Generate floors using Story manager (copy up)
5. Loads:
   • Steel detailers tired of guessing moments at haunches
   • BIM coordinators syncing to Revit (via Advance Design’s .IFC export)
   • Anyone who wants to stop fighting the solver and start trusting it
   • Go to Properties > Materials.
   • Click Add > Concrete > C30/37 (EC2).
   • Do the same for Steel: S355.
   • Crucial step: Assign these materials to the "Structural Members" family.

   In this Graitec Advance Design tutorial, we've provided a comprehensive guide to using the software for structural analysis and design. By following these steps, you can create and analyze complex structures, optimize designs, and produce detailed reports. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or a student, Advance Design offers a powerful and user-friendly solution for structural analysis and design.

   Load Cases

   : Create families for Dead Loads (G), Live Loads (Q), Wind (W), and Snow (S).

   1. Dead Load (Self-weight)

   . These tools drastically reduce manual modeling time and ensure data accuracy throughout the structural design process. Key Features for Your Tutorial
