9 Building Objects 18 Structural Element Objects Mega column Mega Braces Transfer Trusses Core Beams Slabs 19 9

10 Bracing pattern can be changed by just updating some of the key parameters 20 Study Options for Bracing and Belt Trusses 21 10

11 Extracting of the story framing plan by scripts 23 Parametric Modeling and Computer Design Optimization (CDO)

12 Parametric modeling to generate different structure systems Column space as design variable 25 Virtual work analysis results for different schemes 26 12

13 Ensure Consistency & Rapid Design Changes 27 Results comparison and evaluation Member sections are controlled by lower boundary, such as strength, buckling. 250% 200% 150% cost client's Satisfaction Satisfaction/cost ratio Not feasible for concrete frame under limited beam depth. Large steel ratio required for SRC frame so cost increase sharply. 100% 50% 0% Best choice to balance the client s preference and structure cost. Client can make the decision if the cost is acceptable to them

19 Analysis and Design Engine (ADE)

20 Analysis and Design Engine (ADE) General layout drawings for plan and elevation; Linear model for code base design with graphical analysis results for visualization and presentation; Nonlinear keyword file for LS-Dyna analysis to ensure the structures will not collapse in severe earthquake (i.e. performance check); Connection geometry in IGES for Finite Element Processing including Preprocessing in generating meshing, analysis and post-processing. 3D connection shop drawings in X-Steel format for fabrication. Detailed section definition. More modules could be added. 41 Frameworks for Analysis and Design Engine (ADE) 42 20

21 Finite Element Model generated by ADE 43 FE analysis results after optimization 44 21

22 3D image and construction drawings generated by ADE 45 Detailed composite section definition by ADE 46 22
