Creating a Structural Model from a DWG/DXF File with StatiCAD
1. Launch the StatiCAD program 2. Enter the DWG Import menu 3. Use the File>Open command to open the File Open dialog box. Change the file type to dwg or d
Option to Consider Grid Line Eccentricities in Modeling with StatiCAD V8
Before StatiCAD Version 8.0.2.0, when you drew walls, shear walls, beams, columns, foundation beams, windows, doors, and cladding elements with grid line eccentricities

Taking the Symmetry of Selected Elements on a Storey
Taking the Symmetry of Selected Elements on a Storey 1-Select the elements whose symmetry will be taken 2-Click the symmetry button located at the bottom of the right toolbar on the main screen
Semi-Basement Building Projects
When a project has a semi-basement (i.e., some of the walls at the ground floor continue down into the basement level while others rest on the foundation directly below the ground floor)
Presence of a subbasement in a building
If the building to be analysed or designed includes a subbasement, it is recommended to enter the subbasement as a separate storey. You can rename the lowest s

Reducing Slab-Induced Load Transfer Errors
In the StatiCAD-Yigma program, if there is a partial discontinuity along any edge of a slab (for example, if only 1 m of a 4 m slab edge is supported), the program treats that edge as fully supported and attempts to transfer load to it. Loads in the unsupported portion cannot be transferred. To prevent this issue, defining a virtual beam/bond beam with zero height in the unsupported portion eliminates the load transfer error.
Lintels and Bond Beams:
Lintels and Bond Beams: Beam Bond Beams: Structural elements that transfer loads across spans where there is no solid wall section below (i.e., where there is a vertically open wall section or no wall at all)
Timber Beams in a Historical Building Restoration Project
Question: In historical buildings, timber round beams of 15–17 cm thickness are placed at 20–30 cm intervals beneath the slab in a given direction (e.g. x-x)
Section drawings
The following options must be applied in sequence for formwork plan section drawings on the formwork plan. Press the button below for the building longitudinal section. Wal
Angle Tolerance for Inter-Storey Load Transfer
Angle Tolerance for Inter-Storey Load Transfer — This is the angle value defined to allow load transfer when a wall is continuous in the storey below but differs in angle
Masonry Building with Concrete or Reinforced Concrete Walls
MASONRY BUILDING ANALYSIS WITH SOME WALLS MADE OF CONCRETE OR REINFORCED CONCRETE. If you are using Version 7; You can enter reinforced concrete basement shear walls or subbase shear walls that do not continue to the upper storey as reinforced concrete basement shear walls.
Modifying Slab Properties
1-At the location of the slab there are two objects stacked on top of each other: the slabs and the slab calculation axis. Slabs are displayed in light blue as solid objects. The slab calc
Presence of a bond beam in the middle and at the top of a wall (Intermediate bond beam)
Since this situation has no counterpart in the earthquake code, no special definition has been made in the program. Drawing beam bond beams on top of walls causes the load transfer
BALCONY PARAPET WALLS
Entering non-structural walls into the StatiCAD-Yigma program may lead to incorrect analysis results. Earthquake code Article 5.8 d
Defining Timber, Reinforced Concrete, Concrete, Steel, Masonry, and Other Materials in StatiCAD V6
In StatiCAD Version 6, in addition to defining materials by specifying the modulus of elasticity and unit weight for each element type on the material page of the general project settings, forms have been added to optionally assign different materials with detailed properties to column, beam, wall, and foundation elements.
Defining Column, Beam and Foundation Elements with Custom Cross-Sections in StatiCAD V6
Starting from version 6.0.0.0 of the program, column, beam and foundation elements with polygon cross-sections can be defined in your projects. The cross-section can be selected via the vertical bond beam drawing toolbar or the vertical bond beam properties form.
Defining Column, Beam and Foundation Elements with Polygon Cross-Sections in StatiCAD V6
Starting from version 6.0.0.0 of the StatiCAD program, columns, beams and foundation elements with polygon cross-sections can be defined in your projects. Draw vertical bond beam
Slab Finite Element Mesh Option
When the finite element method is selected as the analysis method in the program, slabs can be included in the system stiffness as shell finite elements and load transfer from slabs to walls can be performed via shell finite elements.
Timber Slab or Volta Slab Modelling with StatiCAD
Place the volta beams, assign cross-section and material. In the slab you draw between the beams, select the 2nd slab material in the settings. Enter the name of the 2nd slab material manually in the C20 box in the project general settings material tab.
Creating a Skewed Axis and an Axis Parallel to a Skewed Axis in StatiCAD
For a detailed explanation of creating grid lines in StatiCAD, you can watch the videos at https://www.staticad-yigma.com/kullanim.html. This page briefly covers only Skewed Axis and Axis Parallel to a Skewed Axis creation.
Locking Reinforcement and/or Entering Existing Reinforcement
You can use the reinforcement locking feature in the program to prevent the rebar values you have selected for reinforced concrete elements from changing during analysis, or to examine the adequacy of existing reinforced concrete element reinforcement.
