Analysis Steps

Go to Analysis. Under the AEC|BOLT tab, go to the Tributary section.
Click on Run Tributary Analysis.

If you have a Live Load Reduction Load, "LLR" should appear in the 1st column.

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.

Click the "Tributary Correction Factors" button under Tributary Analysis Setting.

Check see all the columns with live load reduction in this section.

In C2 column in the 2nd row at spreadsheet, enter 1.10 to the "Tributary Area Factor" value.
Check the color change of the cell whose value has changed

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

Click the "Run Tributary Analysis" button again. After the analysis is finished, check that the "Last Analysis Time" value has changed.

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.

Go to Global FE Model under Analysis from tree view. Change "Run Mesh" button from False to True.

Click the Generate FEM button. Check values in table and 3D view

Click Run Analysis and perform Analysis.

Set "Line Forces" to the bottom 1st cell.
Set My (Moment) to 2nd cell and Self Weight.CASE to 3rd cell.
Compare the image on the screen with the image in the figure.

Go to Mesh Setting (Slab) under Global FE Model. Set the value of Mesh Refinement to 500

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.

Go to FE Nodes under Global FE Model Check that FE Nodes spreadsheet has been created.

Go to FE Lines under Global FE Model Check that FE Lines spreadsheet has been created.

Go to FE Surfaces under Global FE Model Check that FE Surfaces spreadsheet has been created

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

Go to 1st Floor under Slab Analysis.

Set Design Rebar to #4.

Click Run Slab Analysis. Check the 3D view on combobox.

Implement the same steps for the other floors (2nd,3rd and Roof). Make sure it's not an error.

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

Click the Open Project button. In the BDS screen that opens, enter the name of your project and click on the project.

Click the Pull button. Check by Etabs 3D view that this project in BDS is exported to Etabs.

Click the Run button in Etabs toolbox.

Check analysis from deformation on 3D view.

Click the push button. After importing Etabs analysis results into BDS, return to BDS project.

Go to CSI ETABS in BDS.

Check the date and current of the last analysis performed

Click view change and check which accounts have changed after Etabs analysis.

Go to Wall Segment Definitions below 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.

Go to the “AW 1” in the tree view.

Check that all Wall Segments for AW 1 are listed on the spreadsheet

Also check Shearwall drawing is created in the CAD view.

Click “Show/Hide Analytical Wall” button.

Check Analytical Wall drawing is created in the CAD view.

Click All Wall Segments button and go to Vertical Wall Segments in spreadsheet at AW 1.

Click Split Horizontal button and select 1st Floor left side drawing midpoint.

Click Split Vertical button at AW 1 in the tree view

Select 2nd Floor left side drawing drawing.

Click Merge Wall Segments button at AW 1 in the tree view.

Merge the 1st Floor and 2nd Floor Wall segments, which were split up in the previous steps, among themselves.

Follow the last 3 operations, the same steps for Horizontal Wall Segments

Go to Column Results below Analysis Result in the tree view.

Click "Select Result to View" button and select the box as in the figure in the combobox.
