titleQuick Tip: FEA Model

Upon inputting the data into the OpenBrIM spreadsheet, every library component undergoes an automatic generation of a 3D Model and FEA Model. The "Model" view provides a 3D representation of the model, while the "FEA" view offers an analytical representation. Any changes made to the parameters trigger updates in both views, ensuring they stay synchronized with the latest modifications.

Various display options are available in the FEA Model.

If you wish to obtain the "Construction Stage" view in the FEA model, you have the choice to either view the current construction status of the selected stage “Display Constructured Only” or the entire construction status “Display All Structure”
