Analytical line:

An analytical line is the representative of the FE model for i) beams and ii) walls.
From a mathematical point of view, two points and one line forms an analytical line. In case of a discontinuity on a straight line between the two points, breakpoint(s) should be pointed at the stations of the discontinuity.

Figure 1a represents the formwork plan of a group of shear walls and beams. Overlaying the architectural/structural drawing in the AEC|BOLT AUTOCAD App, this drawing is generated.

The drawing in Figure 1a is transformed into:
