Table 1: AEC|BOLT
1 | Go to Analysis. Under the AEC|BOLT tab, go to the Tributary section. |
| ||||||
2 | If you have a Live Load Reduction Load, "LLR" should appear in the 1st column. |
| ||||||
3 | Set "Do not Consider cut out if area is bigger 100 (ft²) rule" to "80". And make sure the value in the cell is saved. |
| ||||||
4 | Click the "Tributary Correction Factors" button under Tributary Analysis Setting. Check see all the columns with live load reduction in this section. |
| ||||||
5 | In the C2 column in the 2nd row at spreadsheet, enter 1.10 to the "Tributary Area Factor" value. |
| ||||||
6 | Changes occurred in the "Changes After Last Code Check" cell because we made a change in Analysis Setting. Click "View Changes" and check last change |
| ||||||
7 | Click the "Run Tributary Analysis" button again. After the analysis is finished, check that the "Last Analysis Time" value has changed. |
| ||||||
8 | Click the "Tributary Correction Factors" button again. And check that the changed value is present there. Click the show button as in the figure and check the drawing created in CAD view. |
| ||||||
9 |
| |||||||
10 | Go to Global FE Model under Analysis from tree view. Change the "Run Mesh" button from False to True. Click the Generate FEM button. Check values in table and 3D view |
| ||||||
11 |
| |||||||
12 | Click Run Analysis and perform Analysis. Set "Line Forces" to the bottom 1st cell. |
| ||||||
13 | Go to Mesh Setting (Slab) under Global FE Model. Set the value of Mesh Refinement to 500 |
| ||||||
14 | Go to Mesh Setting (Shearwall). Set the value of Mesh Refinement in X&Y to 500 for SW1 and FW-1 In order for changes to be added to the analysis results, you must have the analysis done again in the Global FE Model. |
| ||||||
15 | Go to FE Nodes in the tree view under Global FE Model Check that FE Nodes table spreadsheet has been created. |
| ||||||
16 | Go to FE Lines in the tree view under Global FE Model Check that FE Lines table spreadsheet has been created. |
| ||||||
17 | Go to FE Surfaces in the tree view under Global FE Model Check that FE Surfaces table spreadsheet has been created |
| ||||||
18 | Go to Foundationwall Analysis below under Local FE Model in the from tree view. |
| ||||||
19 | Go to Beam Analysis below under Local FE Model in the from tree view. Click Run Analysis. |
| ||||||
20 | Click the Settings button in the Beam Analysis spreadsheet and select the Beam cell. Check the Tributary Area (sqft) values. |
| ||||||
21 | Manually click the “Run Analysis” button for the 1st floor beam. Check the 1st floor analysis values in the combobox. |
| ||||||
22 | Go to Slab Analysis below under Local FE Model in the from tree view. Go to 1st Floor and click Run Mesh Check drawing on CAD view. Implement the same steps for the other floors (2nd,3rd and Roof). Make sure it's not an error |
| ||||||
23 |
| |||||||
24 | Go to 1st Floor below under Slab Analysis in the tree view. Set Design Rebar to #4. Click Run Slab Analysis. Check the 3D view on the combobox. Implement the same steps for the other floors (2nd,3rd and Roof). Make sure it's not an error. |

Table 3: CSI ETABS
1 | Go to the Etabs App and open new project folder. Go to Tools at toolbox. Click on the "MyAecboltEtabsLink" file that downloaded earlier. Click the yes button in the combobox. Make sure AEC|BOLT ETABS Link window opens like in the figure |
| ||||||
2 | Click the Open Project button. In the BDS screen that opens, enter the name of your project and click on the project. |
| ||||||
3 | Click the Pull button. Check by Etabs 3D view that this project in BDS is exported to Etabs. |
| ||||||
4 |
| |||||||
5 | Click the Run button in Etabs toolbox. Check analysis from deformation on 3D view. |
| ||||||
6 |
| |||||||
7 | Click the push button. After importing Etabs analysis results into BDS, return to BDS project. |
| ||||||
8 | Go to CSI ETABS under Analysis from tree view in BDS. Check the date and current of the last analysis performed |
| ||||||
9 | Click view change and check which accounts have changed after Etabs analysis. |
| ||||||
10 | Go to Wall Segment Definitions under CSI ETABS. Click Generate Wall Segments. Click Yes to "Do you want to keep the data from previous generation" question on the screen. Check drawings in CAD view. |
| ||||||
11 |
| |||||||
12 | Go to the “AW 1” under Wall Segment Definitions. Check that all Wall Segments for AW 1 are listed on the spreadsheet Also check Shearwall drawing is created in the CAD view. |
| ||||||
13 |
| |||||||
14 | Click “Show/Hide Analytical Wall” button. Check Analytical Wall drawing is created in the CAD view. |
