SeismoBuild 2016 Release 3 Build 2

Some of the more important features of SeismoBuild are summarised in what follows:
Completely visual interface. No input or configuration files, programming scripts or any other time-consuming and complex text editing requirements.
With the Building Modeller the user can create real regular or irregular 3D reinforced concrete models within minutes.
Easy CAD-based input; the floor's plan view can be used as background.
Predefined built-in cross-sections for both existing and strengthened (jacketed) members (rectangular, L-shaped, T-shaped, circular, shear walls, normal or inverted T-beams).
Easy modelling of strengthening with Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) wraps; a large library of existing FRP materials is available.
Easy modelling of inclined beams and slabs.
Automatic column subdivision to model short columns.
Straightforward definition of code-based parameters.
Simple input of limit states, building performance levels, earthquake hazard levels and knowledge levels.
Easy definition of the parameters needed for the nonlinear analysis, with a range of predefined settings schemes and detailed guidelines with suggestions by the program.
Large library of nonlinear models for concrete and steel materials.
Fibre-based inelastic frame elements.
Distributed plasticity models to accurately model the distribution of inelasticity along the entire height of large walls.
Eigenvalue and pushover analyses supported.
AVI movie files can be created to better illustrate the sequence of structural deformation.
Automatic calculation of the target displacement.
Detailed and intuitive presentation of the analytical results; tables, charts and 3D Descriptions are available.
All the code-defined capacity checks are supported (shear capacity, chord rotation capacity, inter-storey drift level, beam-column joints checks).
Checks presented on a table and on the 3D Description; the members where the capacity is exceeded are highlighted with red.
Detailed technical report in PDF, RTF or HTML format; the content (text, Descriptions and tables) and the size of the report are determined by the users.
CAD drawings with plan views, members' cross sections and reinforcement tables; specially created *.ctb files are included.
Easy copying of all the data, tables and Descriptions to any other Windows application.
